Exercise Physiologist and PUSH-as-Rx ® fitness facility owner Daniel Alvarado takes a look at common mistakes that people make in their workout routines.
Time is precious. That’s why making the most of every sweat session and avoiding common workout mistakes is key. I’m a huge fan of sneaking in mini-workouts whenever I could. That’s one of the benefits of high-intensity interval training: You only need several minutes.
But there are so many other ways you can shift your own exercise routine to more efficient workouts. Tiny tweaks may make a huge different when it comes to losing body fat increasing lean muscle mass and reducing stress.
Here are some of the most common workout mistakes you need to avoid:
Theres no doubt about it. Resistance training is medicine.

Older, obese adults need to shed weight, but dieting can worsen their frailty. A new study addresses this conundrum, suggesting seniors take up both aerobic and resistance exercise while slimming down.
Engaging in aerobic and resistance exercise while losing weight enabled study participants to maintain more muscle mass and bone density compared to folks who did just one type of exercise or none at all, the researchers found.
“The best way to improve functional status and reverse frailty in older adults with obesity is by means of diet and regular exercise using a combination of resistance and aerobic exercise training,” said study leader Dr. Dennis Villareal. He’s a professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
More than one-third of people age 65 and older in the United States are obese, according to the study authors. Obesity worsens the typical age-related decline in physical functioning and causes fr
The Schroth Method is a non-surgical principle utilized as a scoliosis treatment which consists of scoliosis-specific exercises depending to curve-pattern.
The scoliosis exercises used in this form of treatment do not resemble conventional exercises and also, the Schroth method focuses on a proprietary corrective breathing technique called rotational breathing, or rotational angular breathing (RAB). Each patient with scoliosis has a curve pattern that is unique. The aim of the Schroth method is to correct the torso, allowing it to restore its original physiological structure.
The term scoliosis exercise leads people to think it’s simple to handle scoliosis via exercise. However, it is important that an experienced and qualified healthcare professional whom specialized in Schroth methodology conducts the training. With proper education on the Schroth method of exercises for scoliosis, it’s possible for patients to integrate them into daily life and understand the abilities requi
A very few number of research studies have been conducted to examine how effective the Schroth method is towards the management of scoliosis, particularly in countries such as the United States, where the duration of therapy programs are generally constrained to an average of 1 to 3 sessions.
Researchers conducted a study on a 26 year old female with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in order to examine the effects of Schroth therapy. The physical therapy regimen included a 1-hour Schroth method session of exercises, twice per week for four weeks, followed by one session of the Schroth therapy each week for 20 additional weeks. Furthermore, the research study also included a home exercise program which consisted of 30-minute sessions, five days per week. All evaluation measurements and results were recorded before and after the treatment.
After a 6-month treatment period, the patient had experienced a significant and measurable improvement of symptoms as well as the overall co

The Schroth method can help control scoliosis, a spinal condition with little medical advice available for patients to know how to help themselves, aside from wearing a scoliosis brace. On the contrary of popular belief, a proper program utilizing the Schroth method exercises can ultimately help people achieve spinal balance, providing them with an increased grade of control regarding a patient’s scoliosis.
Careful instruction from a qualified and experienced healthcare professional who specialized in the Schroth method for scoliosis can empower a scoliosis patient in multiple ways. Most importantly, one-to-one training between a chiropractor or physical therapist and a patient helps properly educate the individual on the most effective ways to counteract the abnormal curvature of their spine.
The Schroth method exercises alone aren’t enough to provide relief from scoliosis and its associated symptoms, altering the way an individual engages in

The Schroth Method is best known as a conservative exercise which uses a three dimensional approach to correct spinal misalignments, or subluxations, such as scoliosis, by elongating the trunk. The goal of this specific method of treatment is to naturally develop the inner muscles of the rib cage in order to alter the shape of the upper trunk and to correct spinal imbalances. Chiropractors or physical therapists who perform the Schroth Method will instruct the patient on specific exercises to help straighten, centralize and re-align the spine utilizing corrective breathing techniques.
The Schroth Method exercises aims to achieve: the stabilization of the body’s natural curves; the mobilization of stiff body parts; the improvement of postural alignment; teaching daily living activities; promoting corrections; enhancing neuromuscular control; increasing muscle strength and endurance; reducing pain; and the improvement of cardio-pulmonary function.
