“When the risk of a “functional” exercise outweighs the benefits, you might want to consider using a different exercise to achieve the desired effect.”

This was a quote taken from Joe Stanowski’s Morning Cup of Joe Blog.

As a personal trainer, I see people doing all sorts of ridiculous exercises, trying to stabilize their ‘core’. There are times when it takes a lot for me not to walk up to them and say, “Do you realize you could be setting yourself up for some serious injury?” Trying to outdo your buddy by standing on a stability ball is one of the dumbest things you can do.

Joe has a great article about other ways to use functional exercises without having to pay your chiropractor or doctor a visit!
