Some workout tips I learn those past 2 weeks.

I originally got in the gym for weight loss and to tone my body but throughout my journey I made a few mistakes but you don’t have to make the same mistakes I made,just letting you know  you will make mistakes if you are just starting your fitness journey and that’s totally fine! We are learning so don’t feel embarrassed or quit to soon; just keep going I promise you will find yourself and what you like.

• I did too much cardio: the treadmill is a great way to lose body fat but it can be boring, I tried to use 10 incline to put more pressure on my work outs but I soon realize that was bad for my knees so I can’t really go past 5 on the incline. You burn a tone of calories while doing cardio. If weight loss is your main focus then I suggest doing a lot of cardio. But for me I don’t want to look soft! I want muscles! So I needed to do a lot more resistance training as well. 
• Not planning my work out before going to the gym: when I go to the gym without knowing what I am going to do I look lost! And I am because I am not sure where to start. Planing your works outs can look like this (picture below)

• Make sure you rest between each sets! You have to rest to regain strength for the next set otherwise you’ll get tired quickly.
• Stop skipping isolated work outs because that’s your chance to work out one muscle at a time it can either be your glutes, your abs or your quads.
• Eat enough protein! Make sure you eat! Especially if you want a bookshelf booty. I wasn’t eating enough and I was burning a lot of calories so I lost weight in places I didn’t want to lose but that’s okay I get it now so now we are toning and building muscles! 
• Up the weights! You have to increase the weight as you go, don’t get too confortable with the same amount of weight you have to keep adding on the weight! Don’t be scared. 
• Don’t use a weight that you can’t keep your proper form, you need to be able to do 15 reps with the weight!  Before your leg start shaking or before you can’t no more. Too much weight overload is also not good! So just enough weight you can do 15 reps but still have to struggle at the last few reps
