Back strengthening exercises can be recommended to everyone. Most of us have experienced back pains at some point in time. Back pains have a number of causes. The most popular discomfort is caused by incorrect posture especially when working in a sitting or standing position. If we do not start to pay attention to the correct posture and strengthen the muscles which support the spine, then it is highly probable that, with age, back pains will intensify.
We should also pay attention to our posture when lifting weights, like when carrying groceries. Our back also suffers when we experience stress or when we do not move enough. Our back also works when we are sleeping. In a lying position, our back carries the weight of about 25 kg; when we stand it must carry about 150 kg; when we walk the estimated weight for the back to bear is 100 kg. Obviously, a lot depends on our own weight.
Back strengthening exercises are very beneficial. The movement itself is very important and it is worth keeping straight posture and correct positions in daily activities. It is also crucial to strengthen the muscles all the way from the neck to the lower parts of the spine because only then shall we be able to maintain proper posture and get rid of back pains for years to come.
