Don't do anything
in your bare feet. Will cause stress fractures or "greentree
fractures" to your foot.
Don't do behind
the neck pulldowns, behind the neck shoulder presses. Nothing with your hand in
the high five position.
Don't do situps,
crunches or trunk twists for your core. This will damage the disk in your spine.
Not if, but when.
Don't cut your
carbs to lose weight. It doesn’t work.
