3 Ways You're Cheating During Your Workouts

Good fitness tips. Thanks Coach Nicole. - 5/6/2013 9:20:39 PM

I started using a treadmill in re-hab after a heart attack and a 4xbypass operation. The first time I held onto a rail, the re-hab specialist almost gave me another heart attack when she hollered and shut the treadmill down.

"If you're too tired to do it right, shut it down and get off!" Then she checked my heart rate and it was significantly higher than it should have been during the first part of my re-hab.

FYI, my first heart attack and bypass was when I was 33; that was 33.5 years ago. I've lived longer after the bypass than before. - 5/6/2013 1:57:44 PM

Great tips. And I really appreciate the concise presentation. That way I can get out there and be active instead of sitting in here on the computer. - 12/15/2012 7:46:58 AM

This video is VERY relevant to people who work out at home. Except for the treadmill, which many people DO have, changing one's routine and using too light of a resistance are very common mistakes for most people. People don't realize how doing the same routine over and over makes one's body acclimate to that workout and it's is no longer effective. And using too light a weight just wastes a person's time. The whole point of lifting is too bring the muscle to fatigue. If you don't there's no gain, so what's the point? I thought this video was very good. Thanks Spark People for sharing. - 12/14/2012 8:51:11 AM

Tell me something that is relevant to someone who doesn't use a gym, other than "change it up". - 12/5/2012 6:07:43 PM

Since watching The Biggest Loser I never hold on to the treadmill. I hear Bob and Jillian yelling "Let go of my treadmill!!" Scared me straight! - 11/3/2012 9:30:38 PM

I luv this video, it has helped me loads. - 10/20/2012 10:20:22 AM

Yeah, I mean let go of it unless you have balance concerns. - 10/8/2012 11:03:19 AM

I see people holding onto the treadmills all the time at the gym. - 9/22/2012 5:57:11 PM
