“What is one bad fitness habit you often see that people should break today?”
As usual the responses were phenomenal:
[Forgetting that] "It's
all on you.
There is nobody else to blame but you. Where you are in life is because of the choices you made. If you are not fit, if you are overweight, if your job sucks, if you kids don't listen, on and on and on. As soon as you realize that you are responsible for everything the sooner you can change your life for the better.”

“Poor
exercise technique is a habit that must be broken if results are to be
achieved.
Learn from an expert and focus on technique as a priority before trying to
increase intensity.”

“Say
"no" more than you say "yes" this summer. Would you like
fries with that? Dessert? How about a beer? No, thank you. Saving the
"treat" meals or snacks for special occasions will help keep
thousands of calories off during these summer months full of parties and
outdoor events.”
"Stop doing cirque du soliel balancing acts and calling them functional training!!
Balancing
acts have been generally called 'functional training' by those who obviously
don’t know what functional is. Balance exercise have been touted as using
a greater amount of muscles, burn more calories, burn more fat, increase
strength, and host of other fitness and health benefits. ALL LIES!!
Balancing, for the most part, teaches you how to balance – not how to do
anything else. I can teach you how to balance on a board – that does not
mean you are going to play better soccer, or get lean for that matter.
Put
your feet on the ground and move as much weight as you can, as long as you can,
and as far as you can and you will get in shape, be functional, and if your diet is right – you'll look great too.

“Going
into the gym and attempting to demonstrate strength (i.e. quantity) instead of
trying to focusing on good technique (i.e. quality).
Sure you want to lift loads that
challenge you, but not loads so heavy that you can't maintain control of and
have to cheat to lift.
A good general guideline for the
goal of building muscle is to use the heaviest weight you can lift (using good
form, without cheating) for 8-12 reps... with each rep performed with a 2-3
second eccentric lowering portion.”

“Setting
lofty goals. It's important to have the feeling of meeting your goals and
feeling accomplished. When we set lofty goals, like "losing 25 lbs",
we get discouraged when we don't see immediate results. Set short term goals
that you can accomplish, and you will build self esteem.”
