Corrections for Exercisers (From “5 Exercises You’re Doing Wrong”)

I just read a post online about “5 Exercises You’re Doing Wrong.” The title caught my eye so I thought I’d find out what it says. This is perfect information for anyone who according to the writer of this article has been exercising your butt off for weeks and not seeing any results from your workout.

I am always a little bit skeptical of new information I read online. However, this advice may actually work if I actually take the time to try it.

For instance, people who read this article are informed that they might sometimes be positioning themselves wrong when they perform squats. For this exercise they suggest standing six inches in front of a bench and lower onto the bench. This helps make sure your posture is correct.

A further explanation is provided in this article of squats as well as the following exercises: Lunges, sit-ups, leg lifts, and push-ups. A deeper explanation is provided by the writer of the original article, but for now you are provided with a summary of what you are doing wrong.

For instance, you are warned that if you do lunges improperly you can injure your knees. However, doing them right can provide you with great benefits, such as toning the quads, buttocks, abdominal, and hamstring muscles.

The correct way to do this would be to start with the feed apart, moving one leg forward, and bending at the knee. The entire time your body should remain straight and your knee should be bent at a 90 degree angle.

Sit-ups of course are another exercise that people perform that leaves much room for error. The mistake people make is using their neck and arms too much, and this can cause strain or injury or it can reduce effectiveness this exercise would normally have on the abdominal core.

Another great exercise that people often do wrong is leg lifts, and thus do not see as fast of results on the abs as they would like. The correct way do to this is to place your hands under your buttocks or lower back. This will help reduce unnecessary stress.

An additional tip regarding five exercises people often do wrong is that which should be applied while performing sit-ups. Your body should remain in a straight line (straight as a board) while doing so for maximum safety and effectiveness
