Of all the pains that you can have, surely, those in the back are the most common. A sedentary lifestyle is certainly the first cause. Spending hours at a desk to work or study has negative effects on our body. Unfortunately, we spend a lot of time sitting in our routine.
In addition, making even small efforts can cause back pain. Let’s think about when we move slightly heavy loads, such as shopping bags or pots with earth. Here it takes very little to get stuck. Few people know that a simple exercise to do comfortably at home is enough to prevent back pain
Where we need to act
Surely, we see that those in better physical shape suffer less from these ailments. Of course, age also has an impact. But let’s focus on the first point.
What we need to do is strengthen the muscles that are involved in the back strain. There are many, but today we will focus on the lumbar. Very often, it is these muscles that are affected by the typical pains and discomfort. Often, these are contractures that can be resolved with the exercises we have seen in this article.
It’s always better to be safe than sorry, though. Let’s see, then, what we can do.
All it takes is a simple exercise to do comfortably at home to prevent back pain
By doing these movements we are going to strengthen the lumbar muscles. What we need is just a mat to stand on. Let’s lie down on the ground, on our stomachs. The arms extended in front, the head and also the legs extended.
From this position, lying on the ground, we must make a simple movement. We pull up the arms, legs and torso, keeping the pelvis on the ground. Without trying too hard at first. We stay like this for 3 seconds and get back on the ground.
We repeat the movement about ten times and then stop for a minute. This exercise allows us to train the lumbar muscles. We will make them stronger and less prone to pain.
