Too often, we sacrifice proper posture as we try to complete an exercise in the gym. Let's talk about the lat pull down, which you can see above. The exercise mimics a pull-up: you sit at a station and pull a bar down toward your chest, which strengthens most of your back muscles. The movement in the picture above is exactly what not to do: when pulling the bar behind your head, the neck typically bends to get out of the way - which brings your posture out of alignment and can lead to injury. Pull the bar to your chest instead. Still with us? For 3 more things you should never do when you exercise, read today's article for important neck safety tips.
