Behind the Neck Military Press
The rise of Crossfit, which itself could be a whole other project, has made certain exercises more popular with people that shouldn’t be attempting them. One of the most dangerous exercises that people are doing at either too young, or too advanced, of an age is the Behind the Neck Military Press, or Overhead Press. The problem with this exercise is that you are putting a ton of weight behind your center of balance, while standing, and doing it in a swift motion. Without great stability and excellent form you are opening yourself up to a host of potential injuries to your back, spine, and shoulders. This is an advanced lift that is better left alone.

Extended Cardio
If you are anything like us then you don’t need to be convinced to skimp out on cardio. Cardio, in moderation, can be the cornerstone to a healthy body and a toned physique. Yet, many people start to think that more is better in relation to cardio — simply because it wears them out and leaves them sweating. Extended cardio sessions will lead to muscle breakdown, decreased ‘gains’, and increased production of free radicals that cause your body to age. Instead of doing prolonged cardio do your cardio in shorter sessions but higher intensity.
