GYM MISTAKES.
Correct breathing means not holding your breath while exercising so breath rhythmically exhaling during the work phase and then inhale when you lower the weight. You could pass out if you hold your breath. Free weights- always put the same weight on each end fitted properly so they do not fall off. Dropping weights tells others you cannot handle the weight and to keep clear. Keep mobile when working out do not let your mobile phone disrupt your session. Triple dresser- wearing extra layers is not cool and all you do is heat up and not do an effective workout. Unless you are a boxer trying desperately to get down to a weight it is a complete waste of time unless you plan on running a marathon in Hawaii.
Feeling a cold coming on then back off exercising could make the cold take hold.
