7 Biggest Mistakes Women Make When Trying To Transform Their Physique

Mistake #5. Not doing a thorough warm-up

This is one of the biggest mistakes many women and men, make in the gym.

If they’re really “in-the-know,” they might walk on the treadmill for five minutes to warm-up.

This can help re-teach your body how to perform certain movement patterns using the correct muscle groups and allow for more effective and safe workouts.
