The first real mistake I see is not having a plan. Generally most people are pretty good setting goals; so for example they might want to lose 10% body fat in 12 weeks, or lose 10 kilos in 12 weeks, but they lack a plan of how to get there. When I’m with clients I like to sit down and work out how many days a week they’re going to be training; what they’re going to be doing on each day in that week, so if they’re going to be doing cardio, weights, upper body session, lower body session; and then also what they’re going to be doing in that session. Also you want to be planning out our food, and how you’re going to be tracking our food. Are you going to be using My Fitness Pal? Are you going to be using a handwritten food diary? Also how many meals you’re be having per day and what types of foods you’re going to be eating to achieve your goal.
 
The second mistake that I see people make is prioritising either weights or prioritising cardio over everything else. When you do weights, you obviously get to build muscle which is going to tone up and also boost your metabolism, which is going to be good for burning fat over while you rest. However, you lack the fat burning and the high amount of calories you burn while you’re doing high intensity cardio. On the flip side, the people doing the high intensity cardio can burn a lot of calories while they’re training, the only problem is they miss out on the benefits of weight training which is having a better body shape and tone, and also building up metabolism which is going to burn more calories while you rest.
 
The third mistake that I see people make is definitely not having a positive mindset. When people don’t see results after say one or two weeks, they start to get down on themselves and they start to stray away from the plan. They start missing training sessions, start missing meals, start eating foods that they’re not meant to be eating. What you need to understand is weight loss doesn’t all happen in a straight and even line down. Some weeks you’re going to lose, some weeks you’re not going to lose. It’s going to be up and down, up and down, up and down. If you stay consistent over the long term, 12 weeks to six months, if you stick to your plan, you’re going to see great results.
