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.
