You may think you're exercising the correct way, but the exercises you are doing may just be hurting you. Here are 8 exercises you're doing wrong:

#1 Tricep Dips

Use two chairs opposite each other. Start at normal position, then lower your body so your elbow is a right angle, then lift back up. That's one rep.

#2 Wall Sit

Stand around 2ft away from the wall then try your best to sit on a right angle so your knees and hips are both 90°. Do that for as long as possible. Remember to breathe!

#3 Ab Crunches

First put your fingers on your temples. Then, lift your chest and hold when you feel your abs burning. Release and repeat. That's one rep.

#4 Squats

Push your chest out and put your shoulders back. Put you feet shoulder length apart, then squat. Your thighs should be parallel to the ground and your knees mustn't move beyond your toes. Stand up again. That's one rep.

#5 Plank

Have your forearms under your shoulders. Then, make your body into a straight line and hold. Perform that for as long as needed.

#6 Lunges

Your front heel should be around 5ft from your back knee. Then lunge until both knees are at 90°. Stand up and repeat. That's one rep.

#7 Push-ups

Hands under shoulders. Have your body in a straight line and have your elbows close to your body. Push down, then up. That's one rep.

#8 Side Plank

Have one arm under your shoulder. Keep your hips up and hold for as long as possible.

That's it! Here is the video I used for reference:

I hope you learnt a bit from this. Next week I'll be writing about sugar vs non-sugar substitutes. Bye 👋
