This article will show you how to do that with three core stability exercises. First, I guess it would help to know exactly what the core is.
The
core is everything below the neck and above the waist and the hips.
Your abs, mid and lower back, are all included in the core. Because the
muscles of your trunk and torso (core) stabilize the spine it is very
important to have an exercise program that is safe and that works.
In
some cases, chronic back pain has been successfully treated by
developing and stabilizing core muscles. Now I am not saying that all
back pain can be treated this way, but in some cases, it has help. You
should certainly see your doctor before starting any no workout program.
The
first exercise is called the medicine ball bridge. Get down into a
modified push up position but instead of your hand being on the floor
rest on your forearms and have your toes balanced on the medicine ball.
Hold your abs in tight for 45 seconds, and then rest for a minute.
Repeat this 3 or 4 times.
The second exercise is called the
elbow to Knee Bridge; it is very simple to do. Get back down in a push
up position, then life your right foot and left hand off the floor.
Pull your right knee forward and left elbow back until they touch each
other. Do 3 sets of 8 reps.
The third and final exercise is the
v-up. Lie down on your back with legs and arms extended keep them
straight. Tighten your abs and raise your hands and feet toward one
another, and then rest for a minute. Three sets of 10 reps.
