Common muscle mistake - working your quads harder than your hamstrings.
A study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine found that 70% of athletes with recurrent hamstring injuries suffered from muscle imbalances between their quadriceps and hamstrings.

Along these same lines, never skip out on healthy meals or snacks during the day. You want to make sure your body is never left wanting to ensure your metabolism is revved up all day long. -Shape Magazine
