To build a strong back and stomach muscles in order to support your spine, gentle exercise is a must. Walking or cycling should be done on a regular basis. Even though swimming is good for the back, you need to get professional advice because some strokes may not suit you.

Get, set and go

Before you start on any exercise regime, you need to consult your doctor or physiotherapist. An osteopath or chiropractor or a qualified physiotherapist will be of a great help. In case you join an exercise class always check the credentials of the physiotherapist and make sure that he or she knows that you have a bad back.

Do’s and Don’ts of exercise

  • Workout at your own pace
  • Drink water before, during and after exercise
  • Warm up stretches a must before and after exercise
  • Appropriate clothing and foot wear

Don’t:

  • Eat before exercising
  • Do aerobic or fitness exercises on a hard surface
  • Do physical activity if you are sick
  • Do exercises that will strain an acutely painful joint or spine

Stay trim

Your weight should be kept down because excess weight can pull the spine out of alignment. Aerobic exercises like cycling, walking or running are very good. But sports such as golf and tennis can injure your back if not done properly. Since a poor diet can make your back weaker you need to take a diet high in fruits, grains and vegetables. It is advisable to keep track of your back problems for better care. Choose proper Fitness equipments.

Exercise – Mental benefits

According to a popular survey 83% of mentally ill people reduced their stress through exercise. It also relieves symptoms of depression and reduces anxiety. Exercise has a beneficial effect on maniac depression and schizophrenia. To a large percentage of people, exercise improved their motivation and social skills and boosted their self-esteem. However, physical exercise cannot prevent all mental health problems and it is not a replacement for other treatments.

70% of the regular gym goers felt the need to use Gym Equipments for exercise because if they don’t do so their general mental well being would suffer.
