00:00There's a lot of common mistakes that happen when we're trying to lose weight,
00:02especially when we are at the beginning of this journey, entering the gym trying
00:05to copy what people does or listening to our friend's tips.
00:10Hi, my name is Coach Mustafa Marcel. I'm the Head Coach of Fitness Bootcamp DXB.
00:14I'm a fitness and nutrition expert. Today, I'm going to be talking to you about the five
00:17common mistakes that we do when we're trying to lose weight. So there's a lot of common
00:20mistakes that happen when we're trying to lose weight, especially when we are at the
00:23beginning of this journey, entering the gym, trying to copy what people does,
00:27or listening to our friends tips. So we're gonna try to clear it up more
00:30today just by explaining how it works and what is the most common mistakes
00:33that we do. Water is one of the main fat burning factors that you should keep in
00:37mind. So as long as you're gonna keep your body in a good hydrated condition
00:41your fat burning process will be much easier and faster. So basically try to
00:45consume 5% of your body weight every day when it comes to liquids and try to be
00:50to be more of water side. So that will help you a lot in losing weight. Second
00:54thing we're gonna talk about today is the food intake. So basically I want you
00:58to try to avoid having big meals in one go or having big gaps between the meals
01:03just to avoid the spikes or the drops in the insulin level in the body. So this
01:08way the metabolism system is gonna function much better and it will help us
01:11a lot in this. Now that we talked about the two main things that we should
01:14consider when we're trying to lose weight now we're gonna talk about the
01:17five common mistakes that people normally do when they're trying to lose
01:20weight. First mistake that normally happens that I get into the gym and I
01:23try to copy what people does. So basically I see people trying to lift
01:26pretty crazy heavy weights. I need you to avoid this because this is not what we're
01:30trying to achieve here. By lifting heavier weights basically I'm putting my
01:34body under a big risk of injury. I haven't been training for a long time
01:37and I'm trying to lose weight. And by lifting two heavy weights I'm just gonna
01:41add more bulk mass on my body which is I'm trying to lose weight. So this is not
01:46what I want you to do. Second mistake that I want you to avoid try to avoid
01:49doing punch or cardio. So don't get in the treadmill for an hour and just keep
01:53running and walking. I want you to get more into resistance training by
01:57training all your body muscles rather than just focusing on your lower body
02:00by running and using only your legs muscle. In the same time you can just use
02:04your whole body muscles by adding a resistance training just like a circuit
02:10training or a boot camp training. Toning up your body is not doing a hundred
02:14setups is not doing a hundred biceps curls. It's a mix of the whole body
02:18muscles work by using resistance training. So basically I want to work on
02:23my heart rate level try to keep it between 140 to 160 approximate and this
02:28is the fat burning zone rather than just sticking to doing one muscle over and
02:32over trying to thinking that by leaning my tummy I need to do a hundred crunches
02:36no I just need to drop my body fat level so actually I would be able to see a
02:40change. The next common mistake is adding food right after a good workout. After a
02:44good workout your body is still in a burning zone. This burning zone would
02:47stay after the workout for two to three hours and I don't want you to break it
02:51by adding any food or any protein shake in the middle. Just stick to water and
02:55keep the body stay in that fat burning zone for a good two to three hours
02:58before adding any meal in the middle. Don't wait longer than this because we
03:02don't want to get into the drops that we spoke about in the insulin level. Last
03:05common mistake I want you to avoid is going to the workout on a full stomach. I
03:10don't want you to feel bad or to feel bloated during the workout. You need to
03:15have your body set in a good condition so you're actually going to enjoy the
03:18workout than just rathering on the stomach ache. So keep your stomach empty
03:23for three hours before hitting that workout. Give yourself a break for two
03:27hours afterwards and then you're going to have a great result.
