If you think all exercise routines are good for the building of
your body and making you lose ten pounds, think again. There are a
number of exercises you shouldn't do. You know why? It's very simple,
because it's not good for you. If it does not do something good, it
simply follows that you are going to receive worse results. And we mean
painful results.
So with no further explanations, here are the five exercises that you should never do. And if you are doing some of them, better stop it or you will lose something big and it's not just pounds we're talking about, it may cause a huge risk in your life. Here they are:
First in the list is the "Behind-the-Head" Lat Pull downs. It's a common exercise that you see in which trainees are pulling the bar behind their heads when doing the lat pull down. Many still perform this today and this is a bad idea. This is because people who are qualified to do this are only those that have flexible shoulder joints. But even these persons also have to be careful not to hit the back of their heads with the bar. Plus, a lot of busy persons especially those who work on desks have bad postures. This is a clear indication of poor flexibility of shoulders.
Second in the list are the Deep Knee Bends like Squats and Leg Presses. This is a no-no again because it's a very dangerous exercise to perform. When knees are bent to deeply, you are endangering your spine to become improperly aligned. This results to the tilting of the pelvic bone and taking over of the lower back. This will cause strain to your lower back muscles and damage to your spinal discs. This can also damage your knees if you have knee problems.
Third in the list are the seated leg extensions. This exercise is for developing your muscles on the front of the thighs or what we call quadriceps. The problem with this however is that it puts major risks on the knees. Putting all the weights on this position isn't a good for the knees because it's not designed for it. It's already troublesome. But if you have knee problems then you are in a bigger trouble.
Fourth will be machines for the Inner and the Outer Thigh exercises. This is also one of the equipments that are quite popular in the gym. You sit while your knees are bent in front of you. The adduction part of the machine develops your inner thighs while the abduction part focuses on your outer thighs. The risk here is that using both your inner and outer thighs to carry weights can strain the muscles in that area therefore making yourself vulnerable to lower back and hip problems. Plus, inner and outer muscles are only for movement support, not the primary moving parts.
And last will be the upright rows. This is done through standing while holding the barbell or any weights in the center and your hands are closed together. Then you bring your hands up at about right under your chin. What makes this wrong is that you are compressing your nerves in your shoulder making it vulnerable to injuries.
There you go; these exercises are not advisable for those who have weak targeted muscles. It's not good to push them through as they will really cause damage if not managed properly.
