![What is the worst mistake that you](https://answers.mindstick.com/questionanswer/5b334e36-2104-43be-9c6c-d894b1c8f7a8/images/e14111e1-7e31-4057-8cd9-704fcd770f15.png)**\**

**The possibility of making a mistake is mostly there in the beginning when an individual starts going for his workout sessions.** Actually, a person is totally unaware of the whole atmosphere of the gym. Well, I started working out a week ago and **the only mistake which I was making in my workout session was my inappropriate posture while practicing few exercises.**

All thanks to my trainer who is supporting me and enhancing me up in the most relevant way**. So till now, I haven’t made a horrible mistake at the gym and also I hope that in future too I will not make one.** **\**![What is the worst mistake that you](https://answers.mindstick.com/questionanswer/5b334e36-2104-43be-9c6c-d894b1c8f7a8/images/4d6aa463-fc94-455c-89fa-93e9ee589785.png)**\****Well, these are few mistakes which are made by the people after hitting the gym:**

- Arriving very late than the trainer’s scheduled time.

- Arriving under the influence of alcohol.

- Working out after smoking tons of cigarette.

- Working out while under fatigue or stress.

- Working out while hungry.

- Improper breathing.

- Wrong posture position when lifting weights or performing any exercise.

- Not bringing the weight lifting gloves.

- Setting up weights that didn’t match strength.

**So, mistakes are made to rectify and one should try to avoid these sort of mistake so that a workout session is effective to an individual’s body.**
