7 Exercises That You Don't Ever Want To Do

Dumb-bell Loaded Side Bends

This exercise involves holding dumb-bells in each hand and leaning to the side in order to engage the oblique muscles. Not only is it not effective, it puts pressure on the spine. There’s a lot of force that compromises the spine itself along with the tissue of the spine. The spine tissue is much like a shock absorber. When you break it down with exercises like this, you put yourself at risk of rupturing a disc in your spine.
