At-Home Workout Mistakes Kayla Itsines Sees A *Lot*
Instagram

Your technique can make a huge difference to your sweat sessions, from the obvious benefit (preventing injury) to the overlooked (better results).

Just ask Kayla Itsines.

In a recent Instagram post, the fitness guru shared the mistakes she sees the most when people do her at-home workouts. And thankfully, they are pretty easy to fix.

“If you have a mirror around the house, I recommend putting it near your workout area so you can check on your form during your workouts,” she captioned it. “If you don’t have a mirror at home, that’s okay! I've filmed these tips for you to keep in mind when training.”
