Get enough rest, please. The rest phase of training is as important as the work phase. Try to get between 7-8 hours of sleep every night, and don’t push it to the max on every workout. How can you perceive your training intensity if you always train with the same level of effort?
Eat a balanced diet, ALWAYS. Do not under-estimate the effect diet can have on body weight, body composition, energy level and athletic performance.
Hire a trainer, coach or instructor – a good one. A true exercise professional can help you understand what you need to take your fitness to the next level. If your reason for “doing it yourself” is financial, think about how much your health self-image is worth to you. If you are convinced that you know enough to train yourself, you are wrong, so wrong!
Let go of your ego and try something new. So many people are unwilling to learn because they are self-conscious. Making mistakes and feeling awkward is part of any learning process, there is no way to avoid it so don;t use that as an excuse to stay in your comfort zone. Cross-training can yield some amazing benefits and keep you focused on your goals.
