Our backs work hard and are often abused by sitting too long in chairs and cars, and by lifting weight that we aren't prepared to support, such as children and groceries. Many of us have turned to abdominal exercises to help our backs. However, those of us who rely on crunches and other exercises alone are doing our backs a disservice, because as the abdominals become stronger and tighter, our backs become relatively weaker and overstretched. The end result is a rounded, slumped posture with a weak and vulnerable lower back.To keep our backs healthy, we need to strengthen our entire bodies in a gentle way.
