How To Get That Flat Stomach Without Hurting Your BackLike many people, you too may have been resolving this question
for a long time: "How can I tone up my belly without wreaking
havoc on my back?" It is the common problem of many who do
tough abdominal strengthening exercises and hurt their back muscles
in return. While a fit individual can do straight-leg sit-ups until
the cows come home, someone not so fit may find that maneuver nearly
crippling. Instead, consider the Abdominal Curl. Lying flat on the floor,
keep your knees bent and your arms across your chest. Rise up slowly,
curling up each vertebra separately until you're at a 45-degree
angle. This means your lower back should still be on the floor.
Lower yourself slowly, which is a complementary exercise called
the Curl Down. According to fitness authority Charles E. Kuntzleman, Ed.D., who
calls this "the best exercise you can do," this simple
movement uses only the abdominal muscles. Because you keep your
lower back firmly on the floor at all times, you don't involve weak
back muscles that could be injured. Just be careful not to do this
exercise with your arms behind your neck. The temptation is to pull
on your neck, which could damage those muscles.
