But if you\u2019re dedicating any of your precious gym time to less-than-effective exercises, you\u2019re probably cheating yourself out of the results\u2014like building muscle and burning fat\u2014that you\u2019re after.<\/p>\n<p>We asked trainers to share the most eye-roll-worthy moves in the game\u2014and what you should be doing instead\u2014so you can have more efficient workouts and become your fittest, healthiest self.<\/p>\n<h2><strong> 1. <\/strong><strong>Smith Machine Squats<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The idea of the Smith machine makes a lot of sense: By using a barbell that\u2019s attached to fixed tracks, people who are afraid to do barbell squats can feel more comfortable working on the important movement, says Todd Nief, C.S.C.S., owner and founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/southloopsc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South Loop Strength & Conditioning<\/a> in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, the way the Smith machine\u2019s bar moves forces you into a movement that\u2019s not <em>really<\/em> a squat. \u201cMost people end up doing some sort of bizarre knee-folding movement,\u201d says Nief. The direction of the barbell track can force you to shift your weight forward and put extra stress on your knees and back, which not only prevents you from learning proper squat form, but also puts you at risk for injury.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/22\/improve-squat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>3 Ways To Improve Your Squat<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Smith machine may be useful for bodybuilders targeting specific muscle groups, but for most people it just forces them into pretty unnatural movement patterns, says Nief. Working on other variations of squats, like goblet squats or jump squats, will do more to improve your technique <em>and<\/em> your results.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Upright Rows<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cUpright rows are one of my least favorite moves,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/lovesweatfitness.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Katie Dunlop<\/a>, C.P.T., founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lovesweatfitness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Love Sweat Fitness<\/a> in Orange County, California. This exercise puts your shoulders in a compromising position and puts unnecessary stress on your wrists, making it more likely to land you with an injury than the boulder shoulders you\u2019re after.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [rr-products] does not match the conditions -->\n<p>For a more effective (and safe) shoulder burn, Dunlop recommends sticking to your standard dumbbell shoulder press. If you want to hone in on your rear delts (the backs of your shoulders), swap in dumbbell reverse flies instead.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Basic Crunches And Sit-Ups<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are two major issues with these classic core moves: they only focus on the rectus abdominis (or \u2018six-pack\u2019) muscles and they\u2019re often performed incorrectly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople typically rely too heavily on pulling themselves up with their hands behind their head rather than with their abs,\u201d says Dunlop. \u201cThis not only leads to potential neck or back injuries, but also means you don\u2019t actually strengthen your core.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/11\/abs-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>4 Mistakes People Make On The Quest For Abs<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instead, choose moves that light up all 360 degrees of your core (and burn more calories), like forearm planks, mountain climbers, and Russian twists.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Machine Leg Extensions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If efficiency is your goal, Dunlop generally recommends avoiding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/09\/13\/free-weights-vs-weight-machines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">weight machines<\/a>, since they often allow you to use momentum you wouldn\u2019t have when using your body weight or free weights, and tend to isolate just one muscle group.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/workout-101-essentials\/N-cp9a01\"
