9 Exercises to Avoid if You Want a Toned Healthy Body

If you're training at home or going to the gym without consulting a trainer, it’s all too easy to include exercises in your workout that target all the wrong areas and give results you didn’t ask for. So which exercises should you avoid if you want to achieve a feminine physique?
The first group of exercises you should avoid is exercises that build up the obliques. Your obliques are connected to your lower ribs and go down to your pubic bone, and they create the shape of our body. If you bulk these muscles up, you can forget about having that hour-glass figure of your dreams.
There's another group of exercises you should stay away from, and that's exercises that bulk up the neck and shoulders. Working out these muscles can be pretty tricky. You see, the trapezius muscle is a large triangular muscle that spans the upper back, neck, and shoulders. If you work this muscle too hard, you end up losing a thin feminine neck and gaining a wide masculine back.
The last group of exercises that'll spoil your pursuit of a feminine figure are exercises that make your legs bigger. You should remember that there are no isolated exercises for the glutes. So when you’re working out your bum muscles with squats, for example, you’re also involving your legs and especially your quads. These 4 muscles are super strong and can grow in size pretty easily and quickly. If you want to have long lean legs, there are certain exercises you should swear off for good.

SUMMARY
-When bending from side to side with dumbbells, you only make your obliques grow, which takes away any inward feminine curve on the sides.
-Side extensions bulk your obliques up way too much, resulting in a rectangular (not hour-glass!) waistline.
-When you train your glutes, abs and back muscles too much, you build muscle mass around your waist.
-A shrug is an isolated exercise, which means an athlete can build up a certain muscle (in this case, the trapezius) without involving other muscles. It sounds nice and effective if you’re after wide shoulders, but if you want smaller, more feminine shoulders, this one isn’t for you.
-Be sure to choose weights that are comfortable for you, and don’t go for the heavy ones thinking they’ll give you your desired results faster. On the contrary, you can get seriously injured
-The wrong positioning of your arms will inevitably involve the trapezius muscle, so you’re better off not risking it and just doing standing tricep extensions instead.
-Heavy weights can not only ruin your figure, they also do harm to your knees and lower back. So ditch the weights or at least replace them with small ones.
-There are tons of ways you can do leg extensions, but none of them will help you slim down your hips. They only bulk up your quads.
-This unnatural position of the body involves not only targeted muscles but also the joints that support them. It doesn’t necessary give you your desired results, and it can actually be harmful for you.
