7 Workout Mistakes

While we all try to get into the gym regularly, if you're not changing things up, getting your nutrition on track, and not taking care in other areas of your life, it's just not going to give you the results you're looking for.

Simple things like not skipping meals, not skipping the basics, getting enough rest... these can make all the difference! 

I'm often asked about cardio - how much is enough?  The reality is that 20 minutes 3 times a week is sufficient for most people.  Unless you are training for longer distance running or some other very specific event that is all that is needed.  If you balance strength training with those 20 minutes, however, you are going to get an overall fitness level much higher than if you did one or the other alone.

Yahoo! Health has a great article about the 7 Workout Mistakes to Avoid - they have some information about cardio and the other things I talk about above.  Read it and see whether you're sabotaging your own workout goals.
