Read on to make sure you're not committing any common flubs, and if you are, learn how to fix them by joining Trainer Approved.

Mistake #1: Not Eating Enough

Keeping yourself properly fueled is vital to a successful workout. Many times, when first embarking on a weight-loss journey, clients skimp on meals. Working out with little to no food in your system is like embarking on a 300-mile road trip with only a quarter-tank of gas. Too often we make the mistake of thinking fewer calories will lead to optimal weight loss. But being properly fueled is essential to making the most of your training.

Solution: TrainerApproved's Meal Plan will tell you exactly what to drink and eat to maximize the speed on reaching your goals.

Mistake #2: Not Incorporating Resistance Training

You might be intimidated by those huge weight machines and dumbbells, but next time you hit the gym just for the treadmill, reconsider. The benefits of resistance training are endless, resistance training helps build muscle, which in turn promotes fat burn, leading to a lower body fat percentage in the long run. In addition to cardio, strength and resistance training are essential to getting in shape.

Solution: TrainerApproved's customized workout routines will eliminate your fears. We will walk you through on exactly how to use fancy gym equipment or how to crank out an effective workout at home.

Mistake #3: Slacking on Technique and Form

Many people have trouble figuring out the correct way to perform strength-training exercises. It's imperative to be smart when approaching a new fitness regimen that includes lifting weights over your head and pushing weight off your chest. You want to avoid injury at all costs. In addition, proper form is the key to making your workout effective.

Solution: Trainer Approved's exercise tutorials are explained by Workout Johnny "trainer to the stars." He will walk you through how d execute every exercise listed in your routine with perfect form. This exercise form is going to maximize results.

Mistake #4: Not Varying the Types of Workouts

We're all guilty of falling into a routine. While working out is a healthy habit to have, not mixing up the number of reps and types of exercises is no good. Sticking to the same routine for more than six weeks will cause your body to hit a plateau and you'll no longer see the changes you saw at the beginning of your program. Your body, believe it or not, likes to be shocked, and putting it through new and challenging exercises is the best way to surprise it and wake it up.

Solution: Trainer Approved's workout regimen daily is going to give you new workout routines based on your goals and body type to keep your body guessing. This will maximize results.

Mistake #5: Not Stretching

You've probably heard how important warming up and cooling down is, but the most important part of both is stretching. It's vital to reward your body after a workout by stretching for at least 5 minutes to prevent soreness and promote recovery and repair. Not stretching after your workout may cause uncomfortable soreness and impingements -- consequences that will hinder the effectiveness of your next workout.

Solution: At the end of your entire Trainer Approved workout's we will walk you through an easy to do stretching routine. Our physical therapist will teach you to stretch all the important muscles and joints. And the great new is it all in a 3 minute long video which you can access anywhere.
