If you’re looking to lose weight, shed fat, and get fit, it’s probably time to stop spending money on gym memberships.

Don’t get us wrong. Exercise is good for the body, and it burns calories. But exercise alone won’t really help you achieve your long-term goals - especially if you spend hours and hours working out & injuring yourself in the process.

Here are 3 red flags you shouldn’t ignore:

Anything that feels like a shooting, radiating, or knife-like pain can indicate a nerve issue.

Unusual bruising usually means there is some sort of internal tear in the body. It could be a small, tiny, micro-tear in your body - or it could be a full-tear.

Overexhaustion can be bad for your muscles, and can be dangerous for your mind.

As soon as you experience either of these, immediately stop or slow down your workout routine. Persisting can either cause more irritation, or can damage a part of your body in the long-term process.

On the other hand, here are 3 alternatives that you can do instead of working out:

Focus on your diet
Working out won’t burn off what you eat. Because often times, it’s what you eat that hinders your weight loss.

Instead of limiting your food intake, shift your focus on getting as much nutrition as you can. Vegetables, fruits, good fats, the right amount of protein, and healthy carbs will benefit your body in the long run.

Engage in sports activities
Find a sport that you love - whether it’s hiking, swimming, kickboxing… anything that keeps your body active!

Invest in slimming/ body toning treatments
Treatments like CoolTech, LPG, or Cavitation help in breaking down stubborn fat and flushing it out of the body. These are also great if you’re looking to tone or firm certain areas of your body, or ease cellulite.
