Overdoing it: Starting a new workout routine with too much intensity can lead to injury and burnout. Gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts to allow your body to adjust.

Not getting enough rest: Rest and recovery are just as important as the actual workout. Give your body time to recover by taking rest days and getting enough sleep.

Not tracking progress: Tracking your progress helps you see how far you’ve come and identify areas where you can improve. Keep a workout journal or use a fitness tracking app to record your progress.

Not varying your workout routine: Doing the same exercises repeatedly can lead to boredom and plateaus in progress. Mixing up your routine with different exercises and increasing the intensity or weight used can help challenge your muscles and keep progress going.
