Will an exercise mat reduce back pain while doing crunches
l currently get back pain from doing crunches no matter what surface l do
them on, be it hard wood floors, carpet or a bed. Will an exercise mat
dramatically reduce back pain?
You always want to do an exercise like that on a soft surface,
wooden floors are no good. A mat may help, but it really depends on what
is causing ur pain.
A big source of low-back pain is tight leg muscles, especially the
hamstrings. Try streching ur hamstrings out, bend down & reach for ur
toes & do 3 sets holding it for 20-30 seconds each day. After that, do
the same stretch except this time bend ur knees & touch ur toes, if you are doing it right you will feel the stretch in ur low back & slightly in the hamstrings. As a personal trainer & registered nurse who has had many clients with back pain, unless you have an injury, most of the time it is due to tight leg muscles.
yea it will. but it would probably be best to buy a mat and
just take pain medication before you start to do crunches
use your stomach muscles! Your back should only be hurting if
you are using your back muscles, or if you have severe back problems.
absolutly not, an exercise mat is just foam, don't get tricked.
what i do is just set a pillow under your butt to rais your hips. that
helped me out alot
