6 Hilarious Workout Mistakes Girls Make At The Gym
Thanks to Gigi Ashworth for showing us the 6 hilarious workout mistakes girls make at the gym.
Gym Mistake #1: Focusing Only Doing Cardio
Don’t be that girl at the gym who spends all your time:
- Complaining about “having” to workout.
- Chatting about how cardio is the only answer to your poor food choices made on the weekend.
- Flirting with the hot trainer at the front desk.
Here’s how to avoid making these mistakes:
- When you are in the gym, it’s time to focus on the work that needs to be done.
- Use positive language by focusing on what you can accomplish in the future, instead of using workouts to make up for previous bad choices.
- It’s good to be social at the gym, however, make sure you don’t complain the whole time.
- Remember, you can’t out exercise a bad diet.
Gym Mistake #2: Only Doing Isolation Exercises With Sloppy Form
Don’t be that girl at the gym who:
- Does hundreds of reps with little to no resistance.
- Thinks “the burn” is what’s going to get results.
- If you don’t see results fast enough, you must need more reps or time in the gym.
Here’s how to avoid making these mistakes:
- More does not equal better.
- You do not need to be in the gym 2 hours to get a good workout done.
- Focus on the intensity of the muscle contraction, rather than hitting a specific rep count.
Gym Mistake #3: Only Uses Light Weights To Feel The Burn
Don’t be that girl at the gym who:
- Only chooses easy isolation exercises, that only work small muscle groups.
- Completes the reps with sloppy form and poor posture.
- Works out while talking on the phone or is totally distracted.
- Doesn’t follow a program, so you have no idea what to do next or for how long.
Here’s how to avoid making these mistakes:
- Following a professionally structured workout program, designed for your goals.
- Following a workout program is the best way to use your gym time efficiently and get the results the program is designed for.

Gym Mistake #4: Avoiding Heavy Weights
Don’t be that girl at the gym who:
- Shies away from heavy weights for fear of getting bulky.
- Keeps lifting light weights, even when you don’t feel fatigued after the given number of reps.
Here’s how to avoid making these mistakes:
- Lifting heavy weights does not make women bulky.
- Females do not have the same amount of testosterone that guys have.
- Therefore it’s much harder for women to build and maintain muscle mass.
- Without enough stimulation to your muscles, your shape will stay the same.
Gym Mistake #5: Not Properly Contracting Your Muscles
Don’t be that girl at the gym who:
- Breezes through your reps without feeling the muscles contract.
- Only focuses on number of reps completed, rather than training to fatigue.
- Focuses on taking selfies instead of getting results.
Here’s how to avoid making these mistakes:
- Complete your reps slower with more concentration and effort on each contraction.
- By doing this, you would be able to do fewer reps, saving time and energy.
Gym Mistake #6: Having A Bad Attitude Towards Working Out
Don’t be that girl at the gym who:
- Constantly complains to your trainer.
- Has a bad attitude towards hard work.
- Expects results overnight.
Here’s how to avoid making these mistakes:
- Your trainer is a paid professional who knows what you need to do, and how to get you results.
- Trust your trainer and do what they have programed for you.
- Allow enough time to assess whether the program is working for you.
- Most changes are seen around 6-8 weeks of dedication and focus on a program.
- Give the program time to work.
