One of the major mistakes people make when it comes to fitness is performing exercises with improper form. This leads to decreased results and a greater likelihood of injury. Bad form is often the result of attempting exercises that are too difficult for your current fitness level.

It is essential therefore that you start slowly, beginning with exercises that allow you to master the movements first and connect to your muscles. You will gradually build a base of strength that will allow you to progress to the more complicated and challenging movements.
