If you look at comments on different exercise posts, you can honestly start to believe that EVERY move is bad for you and super dangerous. 

But I think too often we simply demonize moves over learning how to use them properly.

Don’t get me wrong, there is risk with every move we include. But honestly there is risk doing any movement in life. 

And it really isn’t that moves themselves are bad…it’s that we don’t know how to implement them properly based on our needs and goals.

Not every move will be right for you.

And if you use it when YOU shouldn’t? It may not result in a great outcome.

However, too often we end up injured from a move we SHOULD be including simply because we don’t understand how to create proper recruitment patterns to control it.

We also just get stuck going through the motions or trying to mimic proper form.

We aren’t conscious of what we feel working or how to tweak form to match our needs and goals and builds.

So I wanted to share some tips so you stop avoiding moves and demonizing moves when you actually need to learn how to control them to better avoid injury in every day life!
