In an article on NDTV, fitness expert Kushal Pal Singh advises against performing five popular exercises due to their potential for causing injury or being ineffective, and suggests safer alternatives.

Singh also advises against behind-the-neck lat pulldowns, suggesting front lat pulldowns to prevent shoulder injuries. He discourages the use of the Smith machine for squats, recommending free-weight squats for a more natural movement. Additionally, he warns against using the seated leg extension machine, which can stress the knees, and proposes lunges as a better option. Lastly, Singh criticizes the use of the seated hip abductor/adductor machine, advocating for side-lying leg lifts to target the same muscle groups more effectively.
