Abdominal Oblique Exercise
Which of these people are doing Their Ab’ Muscle Toning Exercises?
The
importance of strengthening your abdominal muscles is: The stomach muscles
support the low back just as the ribs support the upper back; the obvious
difference being that you have to tell them to "tighten up!"
So, First, Before you get IN/OUT of your car; go UP/DOWN stairs; LIFTING anything
or anybody (you know, the little people) you can avoid an injury or minimize
an injury to the low back just by tightening your stomach muscles!!
1. Start by standing up.
2. Lightly tighten you stomach muscles. (A.) Suck in Your Gut ...Or... (B.)
Firm up Your Stomach by Pushing Down, Try Them Both.)
3. Hold them lightly tighten.
4. Then take slow, deep breaths, in and then slowly out, all the while holding
your stomach muscles tight. After 7 or 8 breaths you will feel the oblique
abdominal muscles begin to be recruited, then the lower and upper abdominal’s
being slowly synched tighter ALL without any more effort than the initial light
muscle tension. You can do this toning exercise Anywhere !
The Advantage to this is that the Traditional Sit-Up or "Crunch" may
aggravate Your Low Back, This Exercise Will Strengthen Your Low Back Without
the Likelihood
of Causing Pain.
