5 Mistakes Killing Your Fitness Progress

After 13 years and 500+ clients, I see the same mistakes over and over. Fix these 5 things and your results will accelerate IMMEDIATELY.

Mistake #1: Not Tracking Anything

The problem: "I'm working out but not seeing results."

The reality: You're not tracking, so you have no idea if you're actually progressing.

The fix: Use a notebook or app. Track EVERYTHING for 4 weeks. You'll see patterns emerge.

Mistake #2: Not Eating Enough Protein

The problem: You're eating 60-80g protein/day thinking it's enough.

The reality: You need 150-180g/day to build muscle or preserve muscle during fat loss.

The fix: Track protein for 1 week. You'll be shocked at how little you actually eat. Then fix it.

Mistake #3: Doing the Same Workout Forever

The problem: You've been doing 3 sets of 10 on everything for 6 months.

The reality: Your body adapted. You need PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD (more weight or more reps over time).

The fix: Add weight every week. Or add reps. Or add sets. Change SOMETHING every 4 weeks.

Mistake #4: Not Sleeping Enough

The problem: You sleep 5-6 hours/night and wonder why you're not making progress.

The reality: Muscle grows during sleep. Fat burns during sleep. Without 7-9 hours, you're sabotaging yourself.

The fix: Go to bed 1 hour earlier starting tonight. Track your sleep for 1 week.

Mistake #5: Inconsistency

The problem: You train hard for 2 weeks, skip 1 week, train 1 week, skip 2 weeks.

The reality: Results require CONSISTENCY. 3x/week for 6 months beats 6x/week for 1 month.

The fix: Commit to a realistic schedule (3x/week) and HIT IT every week for 12 weeks minimum.

The Bottom Line

Fix these 5 mistakes and you'll see progress within 4 weeks. Guaranteed.
