weightloss mistake: only doing aerobics
If going to the gym to you means pulling up to one of the cardio machines and skipping the weight room, you may be hitting a plateau very soon. one of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to lose weight is to put all of their efforts into doing only aerobics. According to the latest survey by the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, more than 80% of women omit weight-training from their exercise routines. Big mistake, ladies! You see according to a new study in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, people who include resistance training to their aerobic sessions eat a whopping 517 fewer calories a day than those who only do cardio. That may, or may not, seem like a lot of calories to you, but over the course of a year that could mean an additional 23 pounds lost - just by including weight-training 3 times a week along with your cardio sessions. Pair that up with a healthy diet, and you are on your way to a great body in no time! Did I mention how much firmer your butt will look from lifting those weights??
