The 7 most common ‘summer body’ mistakes

Click through to discover the 7 most common 'summer body' mistakes

1. Not being properly hydrated. That bloated belly could be caused by lack of water. Before, during and after any exercise you must drink filtered water. During the day aim for 2 -3 litres a day. Avoid mineral water due to its sodium content.

2. Himalayan salt. Any puffiness could be caused by salt intake. Salt creates water retention. Doesn’t matter if the salt is pink, black, white - salt is salt. Eliminate all salt from your diet and see what happens. Bear in mind that unprocessed food naturally contains the right amount of salt.

3. Training too hard or too much. Getting bulkier by the minute or suffering from a lack in energy? You might be training too much or pushing yourself too hard. After a training session you should feel better then when you started. Use that as a measurement of training intensity.

4. Heavy weights. Most people think that the heavier the weights they use, the better the results.The only result will be a potentially massive injury especially around the back area of the body. The best training results involve just body weight exercises.

5. Friends. Everyone has that ‘expert’ friend that recommended this or that. I have seen so many mistakes committed by well intentioned people. Only follow the advice of highly experienced and qualified trainers.

6. Group classes. You‘re all pumped up to change your life so you enlist yourself into every group class available. The result is minimal because group classes are not targeting your problematic area. They are good as a jump start to your fitness but not the thing to be done in the long run. For best results, look for one on one classes.

7. Same same. Repeating the same workout every day? Results will be very poor. Sessions must be performed once only. Spice it up, variety is the rule here. The body requires different stimuli to gain the best results.
