Not Working Hard Enough

You don’t want to do too much, but you do want to perform hard enough that you exert yourself. If you are doing a cardio workout you should be exercising out at 60%-85% of your target heart rate. Know your limits and don’t be afraid to push yourself.

Using Improper Technique and Form

In whatever exercise you participate in you need to learn the correct form and technique. Whether you are doing kickboxing or lifting weights, it is important to learn correct stance and posture for each activity. Good technique and form are important to prevent injuries and to get the most benefit out of each exercise you do.
