8 Popular Exercises That Even Fitness Instructors Do Wrong
The plank is one of the most effective basic exercises that engage all body parts. But the improper performance of this exercise resets all its effectiveness and may lead to problems with the spine.
Mistakes
The raising of the pelvis leads to improper distribution of the load, which puts too much pressure on the shoulders, causing pain in the neck.
Deflection in the lower back reduces the engagement of the ab muscles, harms the knees, and may cause pain in the lumbar area.
Improper head position: Looking up or to the side may lead to cervical osteochondrosis.
The right technique
Place your elbows right under your shoulder joints, relax your neck, and look down.
Your legs must be straight, and your gluteal muscles should be engaged.
Your back should be straight, your stomach should be tightened, and your hips should form a straight line with your shoulders and heels.
