How To Find A Back Exercise That Is Right For You
Many people have weak back muscles or have injured their back and wonder if a back exercise for their back can help them feel better. Luckily, if done properly, there are back exercises for the pain in your back. Oddly enough, if you have lower back pain, an ab exercise will help give your lower back muscles the strength and tone to support your weight. Begin by lying on your back and tightening your stomach as if you were tucking in your shirt; hold this position for a few seconds and repeat. Your stomach should pull in and be tight. Because of how your muscles are tied together, this ab workout causes the muscles in your lower back to tighten, allowing them to become more toned. If you have severe back problems, you may need to roll up a towel and place it under your back for additional support. Depending on the condition of your back, you may want to start slow and only do one set of ten. However, eventually you will want to begin tightening your stomach in this manner and doing crunches, but not sit-ups. Many people find it helpful to place an ice pack under their back when they finish with this ab exercise for relaxation and to relieve potential inflammation.
