Dangerous Exercise To Avoid In The Gym!

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick post to warn you of a very dangerous exercise that is being performed in gyms. You MUST NOT do this exercise ever! Check it out below:

HAHAHA, sorry - I couldn't resist , who doesn't need a good laugh every day.
Laughter is medicine - remember that! And, you get a mini ab workout too :-)

Ok, seriously though . This demonstrates the importance of safety in the gym and being careful about what you do and how you do it. This dill was not seriously hurt but he could have caused a painful injury which would have prevented him from continuing with his exercise program. These stupid machines are unnecessary and a waste of time. GOD gave you all the tools you need and a pretty good musculo-skeletal system to work them so don't go looking for the next amazing machine to use.

So, before starting a new exercise program make sure you get a proper fitness assessment and then make sure you are shown a safe and functional program that starts with the basics and then progress at a steady pace. If you are not sure if you are doing the right things in the right way then I suggest you invest a few bucks in a Personal Trainer and get it right from the start. Not only will you get better results but you'll prevent injuring yourself and injuries are a major cause of why people quit their exercise programs.

So, train safe, progress steadily, don't overdo it! Consistency first - intensity later :-)

Your Friend in Fitness,
