1. Doing Cardio
Rowing is a better use of your time than the
elliptical machine.

A rowing machine is not something you can'max out' on because the user can always create extra resistance.
2. Lat Pulldowns
Instead of using a lat pulldown machine, Crawford recommends doing pull-ups.

Classic Pushups
Many people do "half pushups," in which they don't fully lower their bodies to the ground.
