Mistakes I Made When I First Started Lifting Weights

from The Everyday GLOW Show Hosted by GLOW Physio

Ever look back at how you used to do things and cringe a little? In this episode, I'm taking you back to the gym I joined when I was 17, and every strength training mistake I made without realising it. Treating cardio as the main event. Making every exercise more complicated than it needed to be. Changing my program every few weeks before I'd given it a chance to actually work. I'm not sharing this to be hard on my younger self. I was doing the best I could with the information I had at the time. But if you're doing your own version of these mistakes right now, this episode might save you a lot of the years it took me to figure it out. You'll learn: Why putting cardio first might be working against your strength goals The difference between a complicated exercise and an effective one Why changing your program every few weeks could be the reason you're not getting stronger The three questions to ask yourself if getting stronger is actually your goal Why spot reduction is a myth, yes, even the inner thigh machine This one is part confession, part practical framework, and a reminder that if nobody has taught you the principles yet, that is not a personal failing. 🔗Resources: Check out the GLOW10 Tribe – 10 minutes a day, real results (hyperlink to https://glowphysio.com.au/glow10-tribe-join) Follow me on Instagram: @glowwithlibby (hyperlink to www.instagram.com/glowwithlibby) - DM me after listening and tell me, which mistake did you recognise in yourself?
