Three Pointers For A Fit Back And Spine

November 5, 2008


Back and spine is the key to fitness and a lot of information in this regard is available in our blog for your perusal. Here, we will try to have a three point exercising manual which has been tested by the experts to help you kepe your spine and back fit and fun.

Extension exercises of the neck to strengthen spine

To perform this exercise, stand in correct posture position, feet apart with relaxed muscles. Clasp your hands behind head, lean head forward, then attempt to push it backward, simultaneously providing resistance with your hand. A rep for 6 seconds every time is highly beneficial. Repeat with head straight up, then with head as far back as possible. Gently stretch your neck as far as you can in each direction.

Strengthening back with proper stretches

To relax your back as well as to reduce the wear down from an exercise schedule this exercise provides a good respite. It can also be beneficial to perform this exercise if your back seems to be tired. To perform this exercise, stand up and stretch, feet slightly apart, rising on your toes and reaching upward with arms, then relax. Now bend over at the waist, knees slightly bent. Hold your legs with your hands behind the knees. Pull in your stomach muscles and attempt to straighten your back, while resisting back extension with your hands. Followed by this relax, stretch and relax again.

Leg extension exercise for strengthening your back

All you need for this is a strong table. To perform the leg extension, lean over a table, with palms of hands placed flat on top near edge, elbows bent, standing far enough away so the head and torso bend comfortably parallel to table top. Be careful about keeping your spine straight. Keep knees relaxed and feet flat on floor. Followed by this raise one leg backward as high as possible. Hold for 4-5 seconds, relax back to the original position slowly back to the starting position. Always, judge your tiring potential and stop when you feel exhausted.
