Trainer Reveals Top 3 Gym Mistakes That Won't Shed Pounds

You’re not alone if you've been hitting the gym consistently and haven't seen results. Even when we put in the effort and sustain our willpower, the exercises we choose may not be what our bodies require. It’s hard to accept that things that may have worked in the past may not be effective today.

Instead of feeling discouraged by workouts that don't yield results, refocusing our energy can be more productive. See the activities that might be holding you back in this video from June 13:

Devin (@ devinfitofficial ) explains there are three guaranteed ways to keep the weight on. Even if they helped you to slim down when you were young, they are probably holding you back now. If you are seeing results, you can keep doing them, but if you aren’t, remember, it's never too late to try something new.

3 Exercises To Avoid for Weight Loss

1. Go easy on the cardio. To lose weight, we should allocate less time to the cardio section during our workouts, whether on a treadmill, stair climber, or stationary bike.
   
   
2. Avoid unstructured training. This, he reveals, leaves us doing goofy exercises from our favorite “Fitspo” influencers, hoping that one day, we will look like the creators we see on screen.
   
   
3. Watch the intensity. Even if you perform a high-intensity workout, it may be ineffective. No matter how hard it is, it doesn't mean it will get us to where we want to be.

Devin reports that everything we do in the gym needs to be progressive: “You need to improve your strength, you need to improve your performance, and you need to improve the way that your body functions.” He reveals that the only way we can do that is when our regimen is actually tailored to our specific needs and emphasizes that if we're looking to lose a big gut, we will need to focus on weights to help change our body composition and build muscle . He contends that a great training program “Includes you getting stronger at the seven primal movement patterns your body goes through daily.” As a bonus, strengthening in these areas can help us perform our daily tasks more efficiently. They include movements such as squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling, bending, twisting, and walking . As we get older, these functional exercises can help prevent falls and the unwanted side effects that can come with them.

Making significant changes can be challenging, but with the proper guidance, they can lead to better results than we've seen in years. As we age, staying focused and investing our energy where it matters most becomes increasingly important.
