Have you made (or are you making) one of these common mistakes people make when trying to get fit and healthy?  We've been there and we've seen it all.  Learn from our mistakes and our experience coaching others and avoid these common threads.  Exercise: 1. Not having a plan - Wing it? I don't think so!  2. Having the wrong plan - Is what you're doing ever going to give you the results that you want? 3. Not enough intensity - Are you mailing it in or just checking the "I did it" box? 4. Bad form / Technique - Yes, it matters & sloppy technique will hold you back. 5. No consistency / Accountability - Nothing works if you can't stick with it consistently Nutrition: 1. Going to extremes - Does your "diet" have a name? It's probably not going to work long-term. 2. Focusing on "eating clean" - What are you going to do when it doesn't work? Eat cleaner? 3. Eating too many prepared foods / restaurant meals - You're giving control to someone who doesn't care about you. 4. Underestimating the impact of alcohol - Yeah, we went there.  What you drink might be holding you back.  5. A lack of awareness about what you're eating - Do you know the basics?  Do you know what's in the food you're eating?
