Last Saturday, I posted part 1 of a 2-part article on ways to improve strength and stability. As promised, here is part 2:Ditch the Excessive Crunches- The latest scientific research has provided evidence of excessive crunching with disc herniations. I engage my clients in core stabilization exercises. Specifically, we typically strengthen the mid-section, lower back, hips, and glutes with exercises that prevent rotation rather than initiate it. This eliminates repetitive stress to your spine while improving your mid-section strength. As always, feel free to contact me (paulconnolly123@gmail.com) if you have any questions.
Moral of the story: eliminate the exercise pictured above and incorporate more exercise that induce core stability like prone planks (pictured below):
