Potentially Unsafe Exercises

1. Lat pull-down behind the head.

This exercise is done sitting on a machine with a weighted, cabled bar overhead. You reach for the bar, then pull it down behind your head and neck.

2. Military press behind the head.

In this exercise, you lift the weights or barbell starting from behind the head at shoulder level, and press up and down behind the head.

3. Any exercise done wearing the wrong shoes.

Even if you're doing everything else right, your efforts can be undermined by improper footwear, warns Saremi. Working out with the wrong shoes increases pounding on the joints, and can lead to injuries like plantar fasciitis or tendinitis.
