The Biggest Exercise Mistakes To Avoid


Obviously we all need to be exercising daily, and 99% of us could be doing more than we already do.

But there’s some common mistakes beyond not doing enough exercise that keeps people trapped.

If you want to lose weight, cardio is not the best exercise for you. Cardio is great for mental health, as well as lung and cardiovascular health. But it’s really not very useful for weight loss.

Instead, you need to be lifting weights to put on muscle if you really want to speed up your weight loss.

Another common mistake is doing too much high intensity interval training if your body is stuck in a stress response. Now don’t get me wrong, HIIT is one of the best forms of exercise out there.

But if your body is pumping too much cortisol and other stress hormones every day because of too much emotional stress, or because you’re dealing with chronic illness from underlying biotoxins like mold toxicity, then the HIIT training can be too much of a good stress and will not only prevent you from losing weight, but can actually cause weight gain!

Chiropractic And Injury Prevention

As research performed in the last few decades has shown, Chiropractic is known to change & improve various aspects of nervous system function, including motor control, brain reaction times, and brain cognitive processing (the speed with which our brain processes information). So, it makes sense that if any of these areas are lacking then you should be at greater risk for injury, especially when we are talking low back injuries (due to how important brain control is over the vitally important spinal muscles). We know that if you can’t activate your trunk and core muscles before rapidly moving an arm, this can potentially result in a strain or sprain of the low back. This is known as the feed forward mechanism - if our spine doesn't first stabilize properly before we move our limbs then we greatly increase our risk of injury at the spinal level. These injuries usually start as microscopic injuries that we don't even notice but like everything else they continue to b...
