Crunches are not going to strengthen your core or help with your back pain. It will actually make your back pain worst. The motion of a crunch is the same movement of a disc herniating. So why do we keep doing this repetitive movement?
Core work is meant to stabilize the spine. Here is a quick 5 minute killer core workout.
High Plank with Tap Reach, 30 seconds
Side Plank Right, 30 Seconds
Side Plank Left, 30 seconds
Bird Dog, Right elbow to left knee (hold top position for 5 seconds), repeat 5X
Bird Dog, Left elbow to right knee (hold top position for 5 seconds), repeat 5X
Rest 1 minute and Repeat
Guaranteed to strengthen the core and help with your back pain.
Train Hard, Train Efficiently, Have Fun
