The 6 Most Dangerous Workout Moves

By Corrie Pikul 
1. The Jump Where You Land Like a Girl
The move: Box jumps (hopping up and down with both feet on platforms of various heights)
The risk: These trendy CrossFit moves (now coming to a gym near you) can be a great way to build power, says Vonda Wright, MD, a Pittsburgh-based orthopedic surgeon who specializes in injury prevention and mobility. However, they're notorious for causing injuries to the knee or Achilles tendon. Landing properly requires excellent form, and that can be tough to maintain when you're doing several in a row, says Wright. Most men land with their butt sticking out and their knees facing forward and deeply bent, which absorbs impact. But, Wright says, women tend to land with their legs straighter and their knees closer together, which can be hard on the joints (it could even cause a ruptured ACL).
The fix: Wright says to start with standing broad jumps until you perfect your form and are able to land without wobbling. Increase the height very gradually, and consider stepping down to the ground instead of jumping.

2. The Hand Position You Learned to Do Wrong in Grade School
The move: Bench presses
The risk: These strengthen the shoulders, arms and chest, but Wright says she often sees people positioning their hands too far apart on the bar. The reason, she says, is that many of us started doing push-ups in PE class (usually for the President's Physical Fitness Challenge) with an exaggerated wide grip, and we've continued to use this position when doing upper-body work. This choice puts more emphasis on the chest and shoulders, and while it may be fine for a couple of push-ups, Wright says that wide-grip bench presses put stress on the soft tissue of the front shoulder and can cause a tear in your rotator cuff.
The fix: When doing bench presses, Wright says, your hands should be directly over your shoulders. Tell your workout partner (you always have a spotter for these, right?) to keep an eye on your arms: Elbows should be pulled down to your ribcage and not sticking out like chicken wings.

3. The Dance Move That Can Get a Little Too Dramatic
The move: Drop to one knee (a sudden fall from standing to kneeling, popular in contemporary dance fitness classes)
The risk: The cartilage around the knee is extremely pressure-sensitive, explains Wright. "If a 130-pound person comes down like dead weight directly on the knee, the pressure can permanently damage the kneecap."
The fix: Professional dancers know how to fall in a controlled way so that their knees don't even touch the ground. "If the right knee is coming down, most of the weight should be on your left quad and hamstring," says Simone De La Rue, a professional-dancer-turned-fitness-expert and creator of Body By Simone. "Use your core to keep your balance." If you don't have the core and quad strength to prevent your knee from slamming down, De La Rue says to only bend into a high lunge instead of a squat. "Create the drama by throwing your arms and head down."

4. The Ab Exercise That Can Be a Real Pain
The move: Bending sideways with dumbbells
The risk: Wright often sees people head straight for the 10- or 15-pound weights when doing this move for the first time. Unless your obliques are already strong, she says, you're likely to compensate by hyperextending your back (and the lower back tends to be one of the most injury-prone parts of the body).
The fix: Wright has patients put their hands on their hips and tells them to tense up like they're about to get a punch in the gut. Now that you can feel the muscles you're trying to work, lean to one side without leaning forward or backward. "Focus on isolating and working these muscles with just your body weight for resistance," she says. There are also plenty of other ways to work your obliques without weights.

5. The Common Exercise That Defeats Even Military Troops
The move: Power cleans (bodybuilder barbell lifts)
The risk: These are pretty standard in boot-camp classes, but they're very technical and require the precision (if not the strength) of an Olympic weight lifter. The military recently noted a surprising number of injuries from power cleans in CrossFit, Gym Jones Insanity and P90X sessions, resulting in lost duty time, medical treatment and rehab.
The fix: Try power cleans only under the supervision of a professional trainer or coach, who can scrutinize your form and help you select the appropriate weight. Instead, you can work your legs and hips with basic squats while holding a barbell across your shoulders, says Shirley Archer, a certified fitness expert and the author of Weight Training for Dummies. To work the upper body, she says that a stationary overhead press, in which you lift the bar from the shoulders to the ceiling, is safer than lifting it from the floor to the chest and then to the ceiling. (But that move also has risks--see below.)

6. The Lift That Throws People Off
The move: Overhead lifts
The risk: Anytime you lift a heavy weight over your head, you risk hurting your back, saysStephania Bell, a physical therapist and ESPN sports injury analyst. A common mistake is changing posture and arching the back to gain momentum. "If you're swaying back and forth, the weight is too heavy," Bell says.
The fix: Tighten your abs to control your posture, says Bell, and engage your leg muscles as well as your arms and core. Keep in mind that most injuries happen when the body is tired. That's why you might want to think twice before doing weight moves in an indoor cycling class, where balance and form are key. "Even lifting light weights while riding can put your lower back at risk," says Josh Taylor, an international master Spinning instructor. He suggests pushing yourself to the max during your cardio routine and saving the weights until you get off the bike. 

Breckin Meyer Dishes on Nude Scenes With Mark-Paul Gosselaar


Breckin Meyer has come a long way since playing the lovable stoner with a strong POV about tardiness in "Clueless." These days, Meyer is crazy busy, starring on "Franklin & Bash" alongside Mark-Paul Gosselaar and executive producing TBS's "Men at Work" (a sitcom he created).
Still, despite all these responsibilities, he has to find time to stay in shape. Why? Because he and his studly co-star, Gosselaar, get naked on the TNT dramedy. In fact, it's becoming a theme on the series this year, as host Ben Lyons pointed out when Meyer stopped by Yahoo!'s "The Sidebar" to chat about his endeavors, sans clothing and otherwise.
So what's it like shedding clothes alongside Gosselaar? "First of all, Mark-Paul is like an athlete," Meyer said. "He races professional athletes on his bicycle and all this stuff. So in the first season, he was naked. He was always kind of the eye candy on the show. And then they said, 'You're moving to Malibu. You're both going to have to be shirtless.'" Meyer's next move: ordering the P90X workout program from a late-night infomercial. And to make matters worse, he and Gosselaar get weekly spray tans! "It is the worst thing in the world," he joked.
But it's not just Gosselaar who gets close with a scantily clad Meyer. So does their new co-star, the gorgeous Heather Locklear, who plays Meyer's character Jared Franklin's boss. No pressure there! What's it like working with one of Hollywood's iconic beauties? "It's pretty cool. She's pretty great. I didn't know what to expect; I'd never met her before. She's kind of super quiet and fun, mouth like a trucker, but super quiet and fun and enjoyable."
Fun facts: Meyer was on the Season 2 premiere of "The Wonder Years" back in 1988! "At the time, 'The Wonder Years' was a show that if you were a young actor in that wheelhouse, you hoped to be on it," he said of the stint. Even more awesome, he was Drew Barrymore's first kiss! Clearly, there are perks to growing up in Hollywood.




Why You Should Take Stress More Seriously





If you’re someone who frequently declares, “I’m so stressed!” then you might want to pay attention to this: Your risk of heart attackcould be double that of folks who don't think they're stressed, according to a new study. 

More on Shine: The Best Steps to Keep Your Stress in Check

The findings, by French researchers and published Wednesday in the European Heart Journal, showed that people who believe that they are stressed—and that the stress is affecting their health—have more than twice the risk of heart attack as those who don’t feel that way.

More on Yahoo!: The Least Stressful Jobs of 2013

“This indicates that individuals' perception and reality seem to be connected pretty well,” lead authorHerman Nabi, of the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, told Yahoo! Shine in an email. “In other words, people seem to be aware when stress is affecting their health.”

The researchers analyzed the data of 7,268 men and women from a previous study, the British Whitehall II cohort, based on a questionnaire that asked the following: “To what extent do you consider the stress or pressure that you have experienced in your life has an effect on your health?" Participants chose from answers including “not at all,” “a little,” “moderately,” “a lot,” and “extremely.” They were also asked to rate their stress levels and other factors, including smoking, alcohol intake, diet, exercise and preexisting health conditions such as diabetes. 

People who answered the first question with “a lot” or “extremely” had a 2.12 times higher risk of having or dying from a heart attack compared with those who didn’t think stress was affecting their health. 

“Our ultimate goal in this research was to demonstrate [the idea that] individuals' perception of [how] stress impacts their own health is valid, and should be considered both in future research and in clinical settings,” Nabi said. “We wanted also to show that responses to stress differ greatly between individuals. In fact, a situation that is stressful for one person might not be stressful for another.”

While the findings may have merit, they offer “nothing new,” according to Dr. Paul Rosch, founder and board chairman of the American Institute of Stress, who is familiar with the study. 

“We’ve known for a long time, to quote the Greek philosopher Epictetus, that ‘men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them,’” he told Yahoo! Shine. “You can show definitively that people have a higher rate of heart attack if they feel they have too many demands on them at work or in life, whether it’s true or not. So if you perceive something, it’s as good as the real thing.” 

Rosch said he found the new study to be flawed because the participants who said they felt stressed were also more likely to be smokers and to have a baseline of poor health. “It would have been better to have started off with two groups having equivalent health status, and then show that perceived stress correlated with increased coronary events, or deaths, decades later,” he added. 

Still, he said, it certainly can’t hurt a person to be mindful of stress levels — as well as of the additional stress those levels may cause, "provided it encourages you to avoid unhealthy habits and improve your quality of life in other ways, but not if it leads you to worry more about things you can't control." 

People should just keep in mind that finding an effective way to reduce stress may take some time, since, as Nabi said, individuals react to situations in different ways.

“Things that are very distressing for some might be pleasurable for others, like a steep rollercoaster ride. So there’s nothing that’s a panacea,” Rosch noted. “Running, doing yoga or listening to music might work for some but be dull, boring and stressful for others.” 

Bottom line: Find what’s calming for you and stick with it. Your life could depend on it.

Food by Accidents 04




Ice Cream Cone In 1904, Arnold Fornachou, a teenage vendor at World’s Fair in Saint Louis, USA, run out of paper dishes to serve his ice cream, and customers were lining up. He turned to his fellow vendors for help. Ernest Hamwi came to his aid by rolling up his waffle-like pastries and gave them to Fornachou to fill with ice cream. Later, Hamwi received a patent for a cone-making machine and started his own company. There were many vendors who ran ice cream booth at the same fair that claimed similar story. However, many historians believe that the first edible cones were found in Europe before the 19th century.

Food by Accidents 03


Tofu It’s noted that a Chinese cook, attempting to flavour soy milk, dropped unrefined sea salt containing nigari, a natural coagulant, into a pot of it, resulting in a curdled soy milk. The cook then shared the discovery with everyone, and this original product expanded into a plethora of varieties that we see today- from silken curd to blackened firm tofu.


Food by Accidents 02


Sourdough Sourdough is a type of bread made by long fermentation of dough using natural yeast. The oldest record of sourdough harks back to the ancient Egyptians. What likely happened is that Egyptian bakers’ accidentally dampened ground up grain and left it to sit at room temperature. Wild yeast spores from the nearby beer brewing (ancient Egyptian brewery and bakery were often at the same place) settled on the mix, ate the natural sugars and converted them into lactic acid which gave it a sour flavour.

Accidental inventions are common in history- like popcorn. There are other way more lip smacking accidents over the course of history. Here are 5 food “accidents” that we have been enjoying.


Cheese Its origin links back to the old practice of transporting milk in a vessel made of animal’s stomach. Legend has it that an Arabian nomad discovered the liquid hardened along the way in reaction to the rennet (enzyme) that remained in the stomach, making for the world’s first fromage.

Re-making a film of some other language in Hindi – and declaring the same before the film is released is actually a very clever move that director Vishesh Bhatt had made. So in case one has watched the Spanish thriller ‘La cara Oculta’ (‘The Hidden Face’) – one might actually not want to go through the Hindi version of it. ‘Murder 3’, you guessed it correct, isn’t worth that much the effort. Debutant director Vishesh Bhatt has done a moderate job of directing this thriller – but it is an exact copy (okay, re-make!) of its Spanish counterpart. 'Murder 3', also, ends on a note which is a bit abrupt. The film has its share of thrills and chills in parts, but doesn’t really leave a dent on one’s mind eventually.

Vikram (Randeep Hooda), a wildlife photographer in South Africa, gets a lucrative contract which involves him shifting to fashion photography and moves to Mumbai with his girlfriend Roshni (Aditi Rao Hydari). The two have everything going their way with fancy palatial houses in Mumbai (that needs some clarification, though… where exactly in the city do you find such houses!), beautiful song sequences and so on. A fairy tale – just that the wonderland gets tainted by hints of suspicion. 

Roshni suspects Vikram to be cheating on her with his hairstylist Niyomi, and decides to leave him. She leaves a recorded video message and Vikram’s world comes crumbling down. The man whiles his time away in gallons of whiskey and a lot of work. 

Enter Nisha (Sara Loren), a curvaceous waitress at the bar Vikram frequents. Nisha is sympathetic towards Vikram and as she says, “… tanha mard ke aankhon mein aansoo mujhe pasand nahi hain” (I don’t like tears in the eyes of a lonely man). She takes the drunken Vikram home one night when the latter is hit in an altercation, and so begins Nisha and Vikram’s affair. She moves in with Vikram, in his house, after a bit.

Roshni, meanwhile, has mysteriously disappeared and according to the police, Vikram is at the crux of it all. And then there are weird noises from the washroom which almost robs Nisha of her sleep. Nisha is convinced that the house is haunted and tells Vikram of it all, who laughs them off. Obviously, there’s a lot more than what meets the eye. 

Randeep Hooda as the wildlife/fashion photographer could have done much, much better with a different hairstyle. As far as acting is concerned, Hooda does a fair job. There are moments when you wish he didn’t always speak like he’s perpetually drunk, but thankfully those bits don’t stay on for long. The doting boyfriend at times and the jilted lover at others, Randeep manages to play his part well, but doesn’t really make an impact on the minds of his viewers – we’ve seen him perform better.

Debutante Sara Loren comes scarily close to being monotonous when it comes to expressions. She needs her acting skills polished, and the sooner, the better; Loren seems to have what it takes to be an actress – when she is not screaming, though. Sequences, which, again, are few and far in between.

The one who actually shines howsoever among the trio is Aditi Rao Hydari. The girl who forayed into the industry with a completely de-glam role in ‘Delhi 6’, has seen some impressive performances in between in ‘Yeh Saali Zindagi’ and ‘London, Paris, New York’. Hydari, in this one, does a great job of playing Roshni. The supporting cast comprising Rajesh Shringarpure as the police officer and Bugs Bhargava Krishna as DK Bose (yes, for real!) don’t disappoint.

What disappoints, however, is the raw direction. Vishesh Bhatt, the debut, hasn’t done a brilliant job with the director’s hat and there are scenes in the film which are downright funny, and unintentionally so. Nisha’s screams at the drop of a hat, for example, tend to get on your nerves after a while. ‘Murder 3’ stands out in few moments; when Hydari breaks down in front of the mirror being a commendable one. The film picks up pace a little while before the intermission, and then keeps the viewer sort of hooked on to it. But there are no nail-biting, spine-chilling, throwing-you-off-your-seat stuff.

The music is a huge redeeming factor of the film with Mustafa Zahid (Roxen) and Pritam having done a job which deserves a pat on the back. All four tracks, ‘Teri jhuki nazar’, ‘Mat aazma re’, ‘Jaata hai tujh tak’ and ‘Hum jee laingay’ are extremely melodious and hummable, sing-able ones. The Bhatts have always had their music clicking for them, and ‘Murder 3’ is no exception.

In a nutshell, ‘Murder 3’ is a onetime watch, only if you are a huge fan of Aditi Rao Hydari. This film too, will probably fade into oblivion leaving only its music on people’s lips for a long time to come. Two out of five from me for ‘murdering love this Valentine’.
New Delhi: Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma has adorned the cover page of Maxim India’s February 2013 issue with a sizzling hot lingerie shoot.

The 24-year-old actor, who wasn’t yet seen in such a bold avatar, has finally come with a hot and sexy lingerie shoot for the magazine.

The ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ star has come a long way and could be seen at her seductive best and has carried herself very boldly. 
Mumbai: As the sixth edition of controversial reality TV show ‘Bigg Boss’, hosted by superstar Salman Khan, drew to a close; Urvashi Dholakia, Imam Siddique, Niketan Madhok and Sana Khan were the ones who made it to the grand finale.

Dholakia, a very popular TV actress, best known for her role of Komolika appeared a strong contender to win the show’s 6th season. However, model Niketan Madhok also, initially looked likely to be named the winner, leaving little scope for Sana Khan and the infamous Imam Siddique. However, Madhok was the first to be evicted from the house.

Third time host, Salman Khan did not leave a single stone unturned to add that extra spice to the already sizzling hot show. The hunk of an actor was at his wittiest best and his spontaneous acts made a million hearts skip a beat.

Now that the controversies and the drama inside the ‘Bigg Boss 6’ have come to end, we wonder which inmate would end up making the most of the fame garnered after participating in the show.

And if you wonder if a show like ‘Bigg Boss’ can really do wonders to someone, then here’s reminding you of Sunny Leone. Remember how she became an inmate of the house last season and ended up winning a role in ace filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt’s film ‘Jism 2’?

Nonetheless, the house has played home to a number of controversial figures who have left an indelible impact on the viewer’s minds. And we are sure Dolly Bindra is one such celebrity!

When it comes to noisemakers, the house has already produced a fair few: Imam Siddique, Rajev Paul and Sapna Bhavnani find a special mention. 

And it would have been a shock of sorts for most viewers had Mr Siddique ended up becoming the winner. But here's what actually unfolded in front of the many million viewers of the show; frame by frame!
