While we all have that moment where we realise we need to get back in the gym, what exactly we do when we get there can be more of a struggle to figure out.
相比于下决定去健身房，要去健身房做什么是个更困难的问题。
We are constantly bombarded with dos, donts and conflicting information. This then leads to people harming their workout progress by following the wrong advice or coming up with their own ideas because of the lack of a general consensus.
我们常常看到许多必做或是不能做的建议，这些信息使我们失去判断力，并让健身进展不进反退。
Consequently, a lot of us are making the same mistakes when it comes to exercise.
因此，许多人在锻炼过程中在不断重复同样的错误。
We asked some of London's top fitness and personal trainers on what these common mistakes are:
关于有哪些最常见的错误，我们咨询了一部分伦敦最优秀的健身教练。
Focusing too much on results
太注重结果
Christina Howells, a personal trainer at That Girl London says: "When we start an exercise programme it is natural to have goals, these drive your behaviour, but it is also really important to not become obsessed with results. Instead learn to love the process rather than keeping score, be consistent and you will exceed all of your expectations and gain more satisfaction than any amount of goal achieving. "
伦敦女孩馆的私人教练克里斯蒂娜·豪沃尔斯说："当我们开始执行健身计划时常常是有目标的，这会促使你进步，但学会轻视结果也同样重要。尝试去爱上健身的过程而不是结果，坚持下去你就一定能达到期望并且获得更多的愉悦。"
Following the crowd
盲目从众
Hollie Grant, owner of the Pilates PT studio, says: "All too often I see people jumping from one fitness trend to the next in search of the 'best' workout. The problem with this is twofold. Firstly if we jump from one trend to the next we never truly improve at that technique and we are forever a beginner - a fitness jack of all trades. Secondly, we are completely ignoring our bodies important feedback mechanisms that tell us what we really need. For example, if your body is telling you that you are inflexible and uncomfortable - do yoga not HIIT (high-intensity interval training). If you are getting back ache and feel weak in your core, do pilates not boxing. Listen to your body, not the newest, craziest fitness gossip.
Pilates PT工作室的业主哈莉·格兰特说："我常常看到人们在找到所谓"最好"的健身教程后就从一个计划转到另一个上去。这会产生两个问题。第一，如果我们不断改变计划我们就会一直是新手，永远得不到提高。第二，我们会完全无视身体的反馈。比如说，如果你的身体告诉你，你不灵活且不舒服，你就应该做瑜伽而不是HIIT(高强度间歇训练)。如果你感到背痛且躯干无力，就去做普拉提而不是练拳击。听从你的身体，而不是那些最新也最疯狂的健身流言。"
Eating at the wrong time before and after working out
在错误的时间进食
Marianne Marston, professional boxer and coach says: "Good nutrition is always key, make sure you eat right and not too long after exercising. The prime time to eat after exercising is between 20 minutes and one hour, whilst this is essential for pro athletes, it is still extremely important for the general exerciser to achieve the best results.
专业拳击教练玛丽安·马斯顿说："补充营养很重要，要保证你在运动后一定时间内正确地进食。运动后进食的黄金时间是在20分钟到1小时内。虽然这主要针对专业运动员，但对于一般的锻炼者也有助于达到最好的锻炼效果。"
Measuring progress by sweat
以出汗量为准
Leo Savage, personal trainer at Third Space gyms says: "The most common mistake in gyms is people aimlessly approaching each session as a stand-alone workout. Making sure they exercise as hard as they can, working up a sweat, expecting to see instead results. Sweat is not an indication of working hard and most importantly working smart. Making your sessions specific to your own personal goals will be the best thing you can do to kick start your progress. Targeting certain weaknesses you have, or working specific parts of the body to bring about change in the right way."
Third Space健身房的私人教练利奥·萨维奇说："健身房最常见的错误是人们毫无目的性地单独锻炼各个部位。他们尽可能做得剧烈，出了一身汗，然后期望看到效果。然而出汗并不代表锻炼得多，更不代表锻炼得有效。有目标的锻炼能让你事半功倍。针对你的某些弱点，或者身体的某个部位，这样才会有好的效果。"
