Avoid These Fitness Mistakes If You Want Better Results

In your journey towards a fitter self as someone who dreams to audition for a pro cheer team, you can fall prey to a handful of mistakes that hinder you from reaching your goal weight and other targets. Today, I'm going to show you a list of things that stall your progress. If you can relate to one or more of these mistakes, make sure to do something about them right away.

Stop Making These Fitness Mistakes In Your Pro Cheer Audition Prep

1. Not doing the work because of a busy schedule.

Let's face it: A lot of aspiring pro cheerleaders get stuck because of a hectic schedule. Whether it's your career, college life, or your role as a mother, know that you can fit exercise into your day - and there are plenty of ways to do that. Remember: Something is definitely better than nothing! A 15-minute bodyweight workout early in the morning will still make a difference.

2. Eating back all the calories you burned - even going overboard.

While it's important to refuel yourself especially after a tough workout, you need to be more careful not to overeat. Before eating a bowl of ice cream, remember the calories you burned. You can be smarter about your workouts by scheduling them prior to your main meal, for example, breakfast or dinner. Also, choose snacks that are low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fat. Eggs, salmon, nuts, and avocado smoothie are great options.

3. Allowing yourself to get bored with your workouts.

Boredom is a problem because when things get monotonous, it'll be hard to stay consistent. Fitness should be really fun - not feel like a chore. I advise you to challenge yourself every week by switching up your workout routine. You could invite a friend over to workout with you or you could join a local gym where you can participate in team workouts. Listen to a great playlist while working out. Watch a new exercise video.

4. A lack of consistency.

No matter what your fitness regimen entails, it will not matter if you're not consistent. The problem is that many of us assume that we can achieve results right away by just engaging in a few sessions. For example, when it comes to lifting weights, you need to show up regularly so you can adapt to the movements and actually improve muscle tone.

5. Not getting enough sleep!

A good night's sleep should top your priority list. Being able to get ample, quality sleep at night gives you the energy and motivation you need to workout. Imagine lacking sleep and feeling weak the next day. Also, keep in mind that sleep allows your body to repair itself.

Believe me, these mistakes might sound simple but they impact your fitness results. If you ever find yourself making any of these mistakes, don't dwell on them. Treat each moment as an opportunity to change!
