Take a look at this odd piece of merchandise! Created in 1976 by the Marvel Comics folks, this big book features a ton of illustrations of Marvel's superheroes, all performing different exercises!
What's wrong with a book that might have gotten young folks interested in fitness?
Not a thing!
Except, some of the exercise routines show bad form and could even be dangerous!
Take a peek at some excerpts below!
 |
| Above: The Hulk should have his knees bent, his feet flat on the floor, in order to support the lower back! |
 |
| Above image: I know the Hulk isn't the smartest hero around, but you should never perform a sit-up with straight legs! The proper bent-leg position is essential, to avoid undue stress on the lower back muscles and spine! |
 |
| Above: This should be called a "spinal stretch" exercise, and you should have a soft mat beneath your butt, whether it's made of rocks or not! |
 |
| Above: Your guess is as good as mine... |
