We want a better looking, healthier body, we are bothered by the way the extra pounds ruin our look and the solution seems to come from combining diet and a balanced lifestyle with a regular exercise gym routine. Yet, the most effective of exercises sometimes seem totally ineffective. If you ask an expert, he/she will tell you that not the exercises are so much to blame as the bad ways of doing them. This means that there are good things and bad things that seem to define an exercise gym program, and it is often the way one performs an exercise that makes it safe and functional or compromising and useless.
Here are a few things that ruin the exercise gym routine or make it a real success for health and body shape. First there is the position on the fitness machines. The body angle can often cause various kinds of injuries due to the incorrect position of the spine and hips. With an inverted leg press for instance you’ll usually have the tendency of pushing the lower back into the back rest. The consequence will be an incredible amount of stress on the disc that can damage the spine. Moreover, because of the upper body fixed position required by the use of the leg press, the butt muscles will assist in the effort.
The Smith machine can also be incorrectly managed during the exercise gym training. The issue with this machine is the reduced bio-mechanical flexibility that makes subtle mechanical adjustment almost impossible. If you use it for squatting, the AKA will probably cause health problems in the knees and the lower back. A much better exercise gym alternative is the use of a dumbbell or a barbell for much safer and healthier training.
Although the number of mistakes is a lot larger, we’ll mention only one more related to the training of the abdominal muscles. Once again it is the incorrect use of a machine, the ab twist device, that makes such exercise gym workout dangerous. The problem is that all the exercises in which the lower body remains fixed and the upper part rotates against great force can be a source of damage for the lumbar spine. The root of this problem is in the anatomical limitation of the abdominal muscles that are not made for rotation. If you choose some twists that allow a slight hip movement, the abdominal training will be a lot safer.
