The dangers of the gym

A glance into the gym of any random gym will quickly make a personal trainer raise an eyebrow. People often storm the fitness equipment with enthusiasm, but the brief instructions on the machine often prove insufficient to perform an exercise responsibly. And it is not just the fitness equipment where things go wrong.

“The Incredible Hulk,” is science fiction

It takes focus and the necessary patience to get into a rhythm of regular training. The acute and spontaneous muscle growth we see in The Hulk's rapid metamorphosis is pure fantasy. Once you are well into the training rhythm, there is primarily a sense of satisfaction after a training session; it no longer feels like an obligation or a chore, and it contributes enormously to a fit body and mind. Achieving fitness goals, such as getting fitter, muscle growth Achieving results, losing weight, and improving endurance begins with well-thought-out preparation. A good, personalized training schedule is indispensable in this regard. A training schedule that not only covers the workouts but also strikes a balance between exertion and rest and provides good guidelines for a balanced power supply.And most importantly is the know-how of correctly performing the fitness exercise. 

Training blindly often leads to injuries.

Unfortunately, people still often start training blindly. In the best case, this can lead to an acute injury, but with prolonged incorrect execution of exercises, you cannot rule out the possibility that this could lead to chronic back and spinal disc problems, among other things. The most common and popular exercises are often performed incorrectly, without people realizing it.Three common exercises and their problems

The Squat

The squat is actually the mother of all fitness exercises. When the exercise is performed correctly, multiple muscle groups are engaged. Finding a good balance strengthens the body's core and improves posture. Common problems: a. Not squatting down to a 90-degree angle b. An arched back c. Knees turning inward d. Weight on the toes

The Lung

The basis for the exercise is an upright position with the feet close together. One leg is placed forward so that the lower leg forms a 90-degree angle with the ground. The back leg then goes down until the knee (almost) touches the ground. Then the front leg is returned to the starting position, after which the exercise can be continued (optionally with the other leg forward). Common problems: a. Shifting weight to the front foot b. Bending the body forward c. The front knee sagging

The Push-up

Doing push-ups is an effective exercise for your upper body. You primarily train the muscles in your shoulders, back, chest, triceps, and abdomen. With push-ups (also called press-ups), only the body is used as resistance. During push-ups, you lie horizontally face down and raise and lower your body using your arms. Common problems: a. Not lowering yourself all the way down b. Elbows sticking out too far c. Primarily moving the hips up and down
