Research has shown that people who are physically fit are less likely to have back pain and injuries. They will also recover much faster from injuries than those who are less physically fit.

The abdominal and back muscles help to stabilize the spine allowing proper spinal movement and correct posture. Also, having strong leg and hip muscles allows for proper lifting techniques and body mechanics. Strengthening back and abdominal muscles can help to relieve back pain, provide energy, promote a feeling of wellness, and make daily activities much easier.

As always, if you are experiencing back pain, be sure to check with your physician before starting an exercise routine.
