The first thing gym beginners must learn is to perform exercises correctly. It’s the way to get the best results from your workout program and avoid injuries. But many people don’t know how to do exercises correctly and they end up doing them wrong. Here are a few common exercises that people often do incorrectly.
Squats
Squats are one of the most effective gym exercises and they’re great for targeting multiple muscles groups. However, they are also one of the moves that people often do wrong by arching their back or not squatting deep enough.
Lunges
Don’t let your knees bend past your toes because it can actually lead to knee injuries.
Push-Ups
Push-ups are also one of those easy gym exercises that look pretty straightforward, but we often do them wrong. Common push-up mistakes people make include placing the hands too wide or high, or not keeping the back straight.
Planks
The most important thing to think about when doing planks is to keep the spine in a neutral position. Try not to arch your back or lower your hips because this will put pressure on your spine and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
