Advantageously, in some cases, chronic back pain has been successfully treated by strengthening and stabilizing core and abdominal muscles alone. Clearly, no one is saying that all chronic or lower back pain can be managed with this means, but in some cases, it has assisted in a number of occurrences. You may have heard, you should always visit your family health care provider for counsel before starting any workout program.

Nearly all patients I have come into contact with have felt that strong abdominal muscles alone will provide them with a strong core. Regrettably, strong abdominal muscles by themselves is usually not adequate.

Now let’s talk about those stability exercises for your core. Basically, these core stability exercises will target all the needed muscle groups and will give you strong core muscles and abdominal muscles. What’s more, the core consists of many separate muscle groups in the body and these exercises will specifically address those that aid to stabilize the core torso.

One exercise is called V-Up. To start, first lie down on your back with legs and arms extended while maintaining them straight. Next tighten your abdominal muscles and raise your hands and feet toward one another, and then rest for a minute. You should do 3 sets of 10 reps each. You may add extra sets or reps as you progress.

Another exercise is called the Medicine Ball Bridge you will need a medicine ball. Also, if you do not own a medicine ball that’s okay. For all intents and purposes you can go to your gym if you have a gym membership and they should have them. Certainly, if you would like one for yourself personally to utilize at home then they are available at nearly all sporting goods store or big shopping store like Target, Walmart, etc and are not costly at all. Moreover, this exercise can be done without one as well. To start you will need to get down into a kind of push up position. But rather than your hands being on the flat on the floor like a regular push up use your forearms. Next have your toes balanced on the medicine ball. Tighten your abdominal muscles in tight for 30 seconds to 60 seconds and rest for a minute then do another. You should do this at least 3 to 5 times; as far as time and number of sets you can work you way up to greater numbers. For now this will be adequate.

The last exercise is called the Knee to Elbow Bridge and it is also a truly easy to do. Basically, this exercise also begins back down in a push up position. Then lift your right hand and left foot off the floor. To finish you pull your right elbow back and left knee forward until they touch each other. Do 3 sets of 10 reps. Again feel free to add more sets or reps as you progress.

By attempting this core and abdominal muscle workout session on a frequent basis you will strengthen your core, abdominal muscles, and all the other muscle groups required for preventing lower back pain or healing and retaining a healthy back.
