Mistake #1: wanting to do too much

When you haven’t exercised for a while, it leaves its mark: the muscles have atrophied, the tendons are more fragile and even the heart needs to be taken care of! For the recovery, it is useless to want to put the cart before the horse, to increase the intensity to the maximum and to hope to achieve the best performance of your life! he who wish to travel far take care of his mount ! Our mount is our body and there is no point in rushing it, otherwise we will pay the consequences… We keep in mind that whatever the physical activity carried out we must be able to speak during the effort . What if we can’t do it? Let’s calm things down!

Mistake #2: Not Stretching

No time for stretching? Perhaps it is therefore wiser not to do your session because stretching is essential. They gently wake up the body… before it is put under greater strain during exercise! The right rhythm? 10 or 15 min warm-up before each session.

Mistake #3: Not recovering

Recovery is the equivalent of warming up after physical exercise. The secret ofgood recovery ? Relaxation and stretching that will help prevent muscle cramps! You can opt for active recovery by doing a few minutes of walking or a more passive recovery via massages. One or the other, it doesn’t matter as long as you don’t skip the recovery box!

Mistake #4: not adapting your diet

Resumption of sport also involves the plate! When you are about to increase your energy expenditure, you must adapt your diet otherwise you will feel (very) sluggish! We therefore make sure to ingest proteins, essential to regain lost energy and repair the muscles used. The risk ? Exhaust yourself and your muscles are no longer able to perform another session a few days later.

Mistake #5: Not drinking enough

Drinking well is necessary for the human body to function; This is why we recommend drinking 1.5 L of water every day. When we exercise, we become more dehydrated…so you need to drink more! Logic.

Mistake #6: focusing on certain areas

Focusing only on one muscle group is never good! If we often tend to only work the lower body, we must not neglect the muscles of the upper body which help with stability, posture, and spread their strength to the entire body! In the same spirit, we avoid focusing only on one type of activity. Cardio and strength training must be worked simultaneously.

Mistake #7: skipping revision at the gym

Finally, if you are a fan of the gym there is a mistake that you would be well advised to avoid! If you have taken a break, you must make sure you master the devices, postures, and exercises before reproducing them, otherwise you risk hurting them, engaging in counterproductive physical activity or even injuring yourself. …
