The Biggest Loser star Jillian Michaels helped countless people get back in shape, and she has had the chance to observe all the errors they make along the way. In a recent interview with Insider, the famed fitness guru shared the most common mistakes you’re making at the gym.

Bad Form

Squats and planks may be two of the most common exercises on the market, but Michaels believes many people are executing them incorrectly.

Repetition

People tend to stick to the same routine after finding the class they like, but Michaels thinks it’s important to challenge your body by trying new things.

Wrong Pick

The Biggest Loser star also believes it’s extremely important to find a personal trainer who suits you, since you won’t end up achieving your goals otherwise.

Avoiding Weights

Over the years, Jillian Michaels noticed that many women avoid lifting weights out of the fear they’ll become too bulky, but this is actually a common misconception.

Too Much Cardio

Once again, the famous fitness guru believes that weight training can be much better than cardio and it can help you burn calories more effectively.
