Fitness and weight loss expert, Barbara Vinciguerra shares some of the most common mistakes that people make when trying to lose weight. Stop wasting your time and start getting results now by eliminating these 5 weight loss mistakes.
Mistake #1 – “Using Long, slow Cardio For Fat Loss Method”
Again, if you are a member of a club and your club offers “abs classes” I guarantee that these classes are absolutely jam packed. Every single piece of research out there has shown that you can’t get a six pack by doing endless crunches. Actually, doing endless amount of core exercises won’t even get you that six pack. Interval training and Metabolic Conditioning Exercises have been PROVEN to burn belly fat faster then any other fat loss methods.
Mistake #2 – “Using Diets To Lose Weight”
Are you a member of a club? Just look around on a Monday night and what area of your club is the busiest? We can guarantee it is the Cardio Section or the Cardio Classes. Let us tell you Cardio IS NOT THE WAY to go if you want to lose FAT! Well not all types of cardio but long, slow and very boring cardio is absolutely, positively not the way. Not only has research proved that interval training is the ultimate cardio for fat loss success, but the risk of over use injuries related to long cardio is extremely high.
Mistake #3 – “Doing Crunches To Try To Get Six Pack Abs”
Are you one of those that has tried every diet out there? Maybe you initially got some results but have since either gained back the weight or even MORE? Why did you gain that weight back and why are you following that diet or some diet again? Because somewhere in the back of your mind your “remember” when you went on that diet and lost all that weight – and your mind tells you to “go back on it again”. Well if it really worked – you wouldn’t need to “go back on it again”.
Mistake #4 – “Using Long, slow Cardio For Fat Loss Method”
MORE IS NOT BETTER. Get this in your head. Your program should be all about QUALITY OF EFFORT NOT QUANTITY. First of all, it’s just ridiculous to spend countless hours exercising thinking that it is going to help you lose weight and second of all, what you are doing is laying down the foundation to increase your risk of overtraining, injury and burnout.
Mistake #5 – “Working out 7 Days A Week and Thinking That More Is Better”
MORE IS NOT BETTER. Get this in your head. Your program should be all about QUALITY OF EFFORT NOT QUANTITY. First of all, it’s just ridiculous to spend countless hours exercising thinking that it is going to help you lose weight and second of all, what you are doing is laying down the foundation to increase your risk of overtraining, injury and burnout.
