more appealing and interesting options like swimming, individual sports like squash, or even horse riding as
excellent and thrilling alternatives.
Mistakes people make when going to the
gym

Performing the same workout daily Don’t repeat the same workouts daily. Your body may stop
responding and showing results to the routine it gets used to.
Copying other gym members Don’t imitate what other gym members are doing. The exercises they
perform might not be meant for you and may be for a particular purpose they want which may not suit you.
Performing too many workouts You tend to stress your body beyond its limit adding to the
workouts and exhausting yourself aimlessly achieving no new results while your body gives up on responding
positively to it.

in the office after a sleepless night and skipping breakfast may not be the ideal condition you would want to enter
a gym and fall half way through your workout.
