Fitness Exercise

The following general guidelines are designed to help you incorporate an exercise program into your daily schedule. As discussed many times, most experts on back care agree that the most effective way to prevent and treat back problems is through regular exercise. An enjoyable regular session combining exercise, attention to breathing and relaxation will keep your back flexible and toned, and will be your best insurance against back pain.

The first thing to do before you start any program of exercise is to consider your level of fitness so that you can start at an appropriate level. The exercises are all graded as suitable for beginners or those at intermediate or advance level. It is important to introduce yourself to any exercise program gradually. Do not make the mistake of overdoing it and causing more damage than you had before. The golden rule is always to allow some time to warm up before your main activity and to cool down after wards.

Warming up prepares the heart muscles for exercise and stretches the skeletal muscles. This helps to reduce stiffness and to prevent muscular pulls and strain. The exercises are especially suitable for warm ups, whereas other exercises will help you to cool down and relax after you have completed the program. For safety, always practice on a non slip surface. Also remember to remove any items such as glasses or jewelry that may cause pressure or injury or become uncomfortable.

If exercising during breaks at work, loosen your clothing a little. As a conclusion, make sure that you always warm up before you start and allow time to cool down gradually after wards.
