It seems that the majority of individuals who attempt to workout or train without any guidance or research involved in their training programs tend to experience frequent failure, in terms of reaching one’s fitness goals.

Because of this unfortunate fact, Personal Trainers Toronto/Evolution Fitness has compiled a list of “The Top 5 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Starting A Fitness Program”.

As a former personal trainer and as an athlete, I’ve experienced and have observed some of these pitfalls firsthand, and with diligence and practice, they can all be avoided.

“Knowing what the most common pitfalls are can prevent frustration, disappointment, and ultimately failure when it comes to starting a new fitness program.  So here are my personal trainers Toronto top 5 mistakes most people make with their new year’s weight loss resolutions

1. An Unattainable Goal

We all want to jump directly to our ideal health and fitness level, but there are steps in between.  Avoid setting the same high standard resolutions that you continue to unsuccessfully achieve year after year.  This will only set you up for frustration, failure, and disappointment.

2. Starting An Incomplete Program

To be successful, a program must be complete.  A complete program includes attention to nutrition, resistance training, and cardiovascular exercise – all leading to a “synergy” effect for maximum results. All of our personal trainers Toronto programs are built on this concept.

3. No Accountability

Success achievers know that accountability is essential to move from intention to results.  Without support and regular “check-up from the neck up,” life’s distractions quickly take many off course.  Use accountability to stay on track with goals to avoid plateaus or backsliding.

4. No Professional Guidance

Many begin a fitness program without defined goals or a plan to achieve them.  To achieve significant, long term results, the guidance of an expert puts one on the right track.

5. Push Too Hard, Too Soon

We all come into January raring to go, full of energy and enthusiasm for our new goals and new year, but in reality our body needs to be given time to adjust to a new exercise program.  When starting a new personal trainers Toronto program we need to avoid pushing too hard in the beginning, which can causes soreness, stiffness, even pulled or torn muscles.”

I’ve also included an image and video clip of one of my favorite (former) bodybuilders, Ronnie Coleman, doing one of my favorite exercises — the dead lift.

When he was still active in competitive bodybuilding, Coleman could have easily pursued the sport of power lifting as well, due to his incredible strength, how he developed his strength through power lifting-oriented weight training routines, and also due to his genetics.

“Light weight.”
