Finding The Best Exercise Gym

Finding The Best Exercise Gym

by Damyan Lagina

For some people, a healthy slender body is an almost impossible goal; unfortunately, in most such cases one fails to understand that good weight loss results cannot be achieved without an exercise gym routine, some changes in the lifestyle and the implementation of a natural diet. Yet, the most effective of exercises sometimes seem totally ineffective. Nevertheless, an expert could clarify things by explaining why good exercises fail to work because people do them badly. We could say that any exercise gym program has good bits and bad bits, and the way one performs an exercises makes it efficient or not.

Although there are many more mistakes that can affect correct training, we'll only mention a few. The position on the fitness machines is one first problem. If the body posture is incorrect, the hips and the spine are very likely to get injured. With an inverted leg press for instance you'll usually have the tendency of pushing the lower back into the back rest. This will be very stressful for the back disc, and there are high chances of spine damage. 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.

Many other mistakes may appear along the way, but we'll only mention some mistakes related to abdominal workout. The use of the ab twist device represents a clear example of incompatibility between body structure and training machine. The problem appears from the position and the usage: the lower back is fixed and you performed rotations with the upper part, with the risk of injuring the spine. It is good and healthy to know that the abdominal muscles are not made for rotation, having a high level of incompatibility with such movements. Instead of the ad twist try to perform some twists that also involve some hip movement.
