What type of exercise sabotage expert are you? Do you delve into a fitness program with a goal of 2.5 hours of exercise a day --- only to fall splat within a week's time? Do you spend so much of your time setting the machinery up that you run out of quality work-out time? Alternatively, are you the type fitness enthusiast who is exercising to support your eating habit?

Regardless of your exercise wrecking finesse, there are ways to avoid sabotaging your work-out program. Use the following strategies to skirt your fitness faux pas.

Realistic Commitments

It takes almost 6-months of two - three hours most days of the week to see physical results. With four to five hours of exercise per week it is possible to experience noticeable changes within four months. The formula to maintaining a regular workout schedule is through realistic planning coupled with consistency. Generally, individuals who over commit neglect to plan or account for professional, family and other obligations.

Mix and Match

Incorporate a balance of cardiovascular, flexibility and weight/resistance training. It allows for an optimal progression of weight loss, fat loss, strength and endurance. Instead of using one type of exercise, integrate various work-out regimens. One fitness program such as yoga inhibits the body from burning calories. Try to incorporate three various exercise programs; in example, aerobic, Pilates and resistance training.

Eat Within Reason

Contrary to popular belief, nutrition is an essential part of exercise. If you are exercising an hour a day and your diet is one of fried foods and void of nourishment, then weight loss is merely an uphill battle. A common mistake made amongst dieters is the tendency of exercising twice a week and then eating exorbitant volumes of food.
