Celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson helped many of our favorite stars get in great shape, and he’s ready to do the same for you. He shared the list of the most common workout mistakes you should avoid in a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
Shifting Focus
Peterson believes that people are putting too much emphasis on the end goal, instead of focusing on the entire journey.
Delaying Your Start
“Start getting healthier straight away, don’t think about starting after your birthday or after the holidays, just start as soon as you can,” says Peterson.
Pushing Too Hard
This celebrity trainer believes it’s important to give yourself a break and not beat yourself up for your failures because you can always come back stronger.
Doing What You Hate
“Find something you like doing, because if you don’t like doing the exercise eventually you’re going to stop exercising and starting again becomes very tough to overcome,” says Peterson.
No Support
Working out alone isn’t a great idea according to Gunnar Peterson. You should hire a personal trainer if you’re still a beginner and work out with your friends whenever possible.
