That's Fit

We are, as they say, a society that is drowning in information but starving for knowledge. This certainly holds true when it comes to health and fitness. With so many exercises from which a person can choose, it's easy to see why the best choices are not always made.

Speaking from experience, the best approach is to find what works best for you and then sticking to it. How do you know if your workout "works?" Results are always a good indicator; improved strength and endurance, loss of body fat and increase in lean muscle mass, improved circulation, etc. Another way is to take a good look at your workout and determine if you are maximizing your workout time. Are you performing exercises that are worth your while? Or, are you risking injury, placing undue stress on joints, and/or using techniques that produce poor results? To help you along in that determination, WebMD offered a listing of the 9 Least Effective Exercises.

For the most part, I agree with much of what's on this list. However, there are a few exercises that I think landed on this list undeservedly. But, again, this just goes back to figuring out what works best for you. Hopefully this list helps you do just that.
