Exercise is the last thing we want to do when we feel the dreaded twinge of back pain.
For you to stay active and strengthen your core for a back that's limber and free of pain, these 3 simple ways keep your back protected.
It is a must that you bend properly. When lifting a heavy object, be sure to bend your knees beforehand. Keep your back straight and make sure the object is close to your body so your arms are bent, not outstretched.
You should take a break for 5 minutes if you've been sitting for more than 20 minutes. Stand up, roll your shoulders backward and forward, pull in your navel, drop your tailbone and feel yourself "growing tall."
It is also very essential to round your back and drop your chin toward your chest. Hold for five counts. Then lift your chin, gaze forward, and arch your lower back. Hold for five counts. Do six times per day.
With these 3 simple steps, you are protecting your life, your back.
