I want you to really enjoy your workouts. If you don’t, there’s a chance you may make a mistake. To help you identify exercise mistakes and avoid them in the future, I’d like to provide some preventative guidance. Following it will help ensure that you don’t harm yourself through your exercise program. Here are the seven most common exercise mistakes I have observed from my many years of exercise training and teaching.

1. Overtraining: In their passion to achieve their fitness goals, some people try too hard. Enthusiasm is a wonderful thing, but taxing your body too much will not get you any closer to your goals. Possible signs of overtraining include injury, weight loss, mental dullness, disturbed digestion, loss of appetite, early exhaustion during a workout, fatigue during the day, and elevated heart rate (usually five to ten beats faster) upon awakening in the morning. If you experience any of these signs of overtraining, you may need to ease the intensity of your workouts and the duration of your total exercise time. Also, I realize that in order to achieve your desired health and weight management goals you may decide to limit your caloric intake while embarking on your HIIT training program. If so, make sure you maintain a healthy balance of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in your three daily primary meals (and snacks).
