Are you struggling with fat loss and toning up? You might be making these common workout mistakes! 

Here are 4 mistakes that could be hindering your progress:
1. Not Taking Adequate Breaks Between Sets:

Mistake: Without proper rest, your muscles don’t fully recover, leading to less effective workouts and not lifting to full potential.

Fix It: Take 1-3 minutes between sets to let your muscles recover properly. 

2. Trying to Burn as Many Calories as You Can Each Workout:

Mistake: The purpose of lifting is to get stronger and build more muscle, not to burn a ton of calories. Plus, we don’t have an accurate way to track calorie burn during lifting.

Fix It: Focus on strength training to build muscle, which boosts your metabolism and helps with long-term fat loss. 

3. Not Pushing Each Set as Hard as You Can:

Mistake: If you’re not challenging your muscles, they won’t grow or strengthen.

Fix It: Push each set to near failure to stimulate muscle growth using progressive overload and improve strength. 

4. Focusing on Smaller Muscle Groups Instead of Bigger Movements:

Mistake: Focusing on smaller muscle groups doesn’t build as much muscle or boost metabolism as effectively as more prominent compound movements.

Fix It: Focus primarily on bigger muscle groups with compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses for more drastic changes in body composition and appearance. 

Bonus: 
-Treating Your Workouts as Worship:

Why It’s Important: Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Treat your workouts as a way to honor God and improve your health.

Do This: Approach each workout with gratitude and dedication, knowing you’re glorifying God through your efforts.
