Believe it or not, even though it is often referred to as “the back,” the spine actually occupies space in the middle of the healthy body. If you find that your spine is in "the back" of your body, you will want to condition what there is in front of you to support it.
- Strengthen your abdominal (stomach) muscles.
- Strengthen your gluteal (buttock) muscles.
- Strengthen your oblique (side) muscles.
Even though weight loss may have been recommended to you at some point in your life, you need to focus on the present condition of spine pain, and strengthen what there is of you. Exercise to support the body and spine you have.
You will find a huge benefit in spinal exercise, especially if you do them first thing in the morning before getting out of bed. What a simple solution to the problem of “I don’t have time to exercise” or “I hate to get down on the floor to exercise.” Easy and quick, morning-before-you-rise-out-of-bed exercise is perfect!
