There are different effects if you will not set a specific schedule to follow for your exercise. If you keep on skipping the set schedule, you will soon lose your dedication to what you are doing. This will then lead you to a worse scenario where you will soon lose your will to go on with the exercise because you will feel like not effective.

Even in your busy schedule, you need to set a specific time during the day for training. You can start in the morning before you go to work or you can also have it once the day’s activities are done. Choose the best time for your training and you will be achieving your goal.

Avoiding Heavy Lifting

There are myths about heavy lifting among women and you should not believe these. This is one reason your workout routine is not effective. Heavy lifting has different benefits for women. It can help you burn more calories and build muscles. It can also be effective in reducing back pain and in improving your posture. This is something Medicare experts can also prove that.

Not Having Proper Rest After Exercise

It is important for you to rest after exercise. This is one rule that you should never forget. Most women do not understand the role of cooling down after a tiring workout. It is something that is critical especially for women. The body does not have unlimited energy.

Cardio Overdrive

Expecting Results Earlier

Most women get disappointed when they do not see the immediate result. This is one of the mistakes that will surely make you lose motivation to exercise. You should keep in mind that you will not achieve a healthy and toned body overnight. It takes time, effort and regular exercise.
