- Abs are Made in the Kitchen - One of the things that bothers me is seeing trainers have their clients do abdominal workouts for 30 minutes straight. Really? Unless your six pack already shows or you want to improve the definition on your abs, there's no need to have this be the focus of your workout. Doing ab exercises at the end of your workout will be more than enough stimulation. Without proper diet/nutrition, your abs will never come shining through. Remember this: We ALL have a six pack. We just have to remove the fat that's covering it.
- Don't Use Most of the Equipment in the Gym - If you're going from machine to machine to machine and spending zero time on free weights, you need another trainer. The machines are for people who don't properly know how to exercise without a trainer/spotter. Machines offer a fixed path working one muscle at a time (isolation)...not exactly the most time efficient workout. Not to mention, your body doesn't work in isolation in real life. So if you're going to pay someone to teach you the proper way to workout...it should be with something other than machines. Just my opinion.
