How Stomach Fat can Trigger Back Pains

  *The Update 12/1/13*

   Lets first look at our tummy (stomach). No matter how big or small it is, it grows in one circle. The only part that we normally see as it grows, is the front part of that circle (your belly). The back part of the circle grows and pushes outward on our spine.

      That's why sometimes when we stand too long our lower back began to hurt. This is from a combination of pressure from the tummy pushing on the spine and the lower back muscles being too weak to withstand all the standing. 

As we stand, our body is balancing itself from tipping over and that means that our lower back is constantly playing an integral part in that balancing act (like you are trying to balance a pencil on a saucer or something---the center of your finger (in this case your lower back) is doing the constant work.

Let's get to the lower back.   

The lower back has some of your body's strongest muscles. Normally, the bigger ones are strong and can withstand stuff. The lower back muscles (the one just above your cheeks), however, just sits there and are super weak if you do not, or have not ever done lower back workouts. All of the other muscles are connected to that muscle by your ligaments and things. The other bigger back muscles are strong even without working out. The strong other back muscles (using your ligaments and stuff), pull that poor lower back muscle in any direction it suddenly wishes and the weakling back muscle "tries" to stay ready.

 HOWEVER..

A sudden movement, jerk, reach downward, or even a "bump" into your body and a permanent back injury could take place. 

Most of the time the poor lower muscle is just pulled out of whack and heals. However, a lot of time it is pulled all-the-way out and BAM! Back injury for life. :(

To prevent most lower back injuries you MUST MUST MUST work that poor little back muscle at least two times per week. 

Do This..

Make a muscle with your arm and look at the muscle. Now stretch your arm back out. Now make the muscle again. Now stretch it back out. 

See how your arm muscle formed when you made a muscle and then went back down after that?    Now this is how we work that poor little lower back muscle to get it stronger than never before. Then when the big muscles, or sudden movements, tug and pull on it it can just sit still and go with the flow STRONGLY. 

How to Make the Lower Back Muscles Stronger... 

1.) Stand up

2.) Picture your lower back and focus on that area.

3.) Lean back and tighten your lower back only (just like when you make a muscle with your arm)
 

4.) hold it tight for two seconds

5.) now stand back straight up

(the workout above if a half of a dead lift in weight-lifting terms)

Each time you do steps 1-5, it counts as one rep

Do 3 sets of 10 to 20 reps three times each week and watch all lower back problems go ways!
