Be Free From Back Pain

You've got back pain.

You can't bend over. You can't play with your kids or grandkids. You can't play golf. You can't even do your regular routine around the house. The long commute to work is killing you. You sit at your desk in gnawing pain, and you need to get rid of it.

Here's how...

First and foremost, you need to see an expert to determine the cause and solution of your back pain. This is not something to be ignored. Ask around the gym or the office for a referral to a physio or a chiropractor. Then see your doctor and get help as soon as possible.

Second, you need to find the cause of your pain and eliminate it.It usually means you have a bad bed, a poor office workstation setup, or a bad exercise program.Remove the offending activity that is crippling you with back pain.

In the gym there are many ways that you might make the back pain worse,fortunately, there are also many ways to help reduce your back pain

Never round your back. So that means no situps, no crunches, no picking up weights off the floor with a rounded back, and no rowing exercises performed with a rounded back. Be diligent with your form in all squats, rows, deadlifts, etc. If in doubt, skip the exercise.

Now picking up weights off the floor - that's where you see some of the ugliest form in the gym. So don't think that because it's "not really part of your exercise" that you can use poor posture when you are moving weights around the gym. Follow these rules when lifting for proper form:

- Increase your abdominal endurance with exercises like the plank and side plank

- Brace your abdominals (clench them tight) in every exercise

- Keep your low back in a proper alignment by keeping a slight arch in the low back in all exercises

Follow these rules and you'll be able to exercise safely.

The Turbulence Training program comes with torso training workouts that will help you build muscle endurance and reduce your risk of back pain. Being overweight is another cause of back pain (and knee pain too). So you need to get on a fat loss program that works and takes care of your back at the same time. And that's where a good, and safe, fat burning workout comes in.

Use proper form, build your abdominal endurance and you'll avoid back pain (while getting closer to that ever elusive 6-Pack.
