Glute training risks: Exercises that could do more harm than good
The topic of glute training remains highly relevant among women. Thousands of courses and experts provide daily advice on how to improve body shape. However, some exercises can be harmful, according to the Ukrainian trainer and doctor Ulyana Verner.
Dangerous glute exercises
Cross lunges
Performing this exercise can lead to wear and tear on knee cartilage and even the development of osteoarthritis. Therefore, the trainer recommends performing regular lunges instead.
