Read the list below to see if any of these things that can affect performance need some more thought/ action from you.
🍏Nutrition: Proper nutrition provides the fuel your body needs for energy and recovery. Inadequate nutrition can lead to fatigue and decreased performance.

💤Sleep: Lack of sleep can negatively impact energy levels, focus, and recovery, all of which are crucial for optimal performance in the gym.

🏋🏻♀️Training Program: The effectiveness of your training program, including exercise selection, intensity, volume, and frequency, can significantly impact your performance and progress in the gym.
✅Form and Technique: Using proper form and technique not only reduces the risk of injury but also ensures that you’re effectively targeting the intended muscles and hitting correct positions and movement patterns.
🚶♀️Recovery: Giving your body enough time to recover between workouts is essential for muscle repair and growth. Overtraining can lead to decreased performance and increased risk of injury.
🔥External Factors: Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and air quality can also influence your performance in the gym
