Beginner Workout Plans: Common Mistakes Part 1

Mistake: Not being patient

I'm not building up to anything with this series. This mistake is the most common beginner workout mistake I see. Most people get started with a vision of how they want to look.

But the problem is that when you have that vision already formed, you want it to be there NOW.

All workout plans take time, and having the patience to not only realize that, but to stick with it even if you don't see results for the first few weeks takes a tremendous amount of effort. There are bodybuilders who have been workout out for decades and are still learning new things each and every day. You can't walk into the gym on your first day and expect to come out looking like Arnold.

If you set those expectations for yourself, you're only setting yourself up for failure.

The best tip I can give you is to learn to enjoy the ride. Working out can be fun if you let it, and yes it's a lot of hard work, but the fact that you're improving yourself and your body with each and every rep can be a huge turn on.
