How I Ended My Lower Back Pain – Part 6: Ab Wheel
This $10 Ab Wheel really works! I use it every day as part of my exercise routine for permanently eliminating lower back pain. In this video, I demonstrate how I use the Ab Wheel. Abdominal muscles are really important in supporting your lower back, so I have looked for a variety of exercises aimed at strengthening these muscles. The Ab Wheel really works, but you have to make sure you are using it on your abs and not your arms (see demo).
These exercises may seem like a lot of work. And they are. That’s why I have used low-cost machines to make them more fun and interesting. In the past I used the excuse that I didn’t have time to exercise. When the back pain gets as severe and chronic as mine was, the “I don’t have time” rationalization just doesn’t make sense.
Time Management is about priorities (see my Time Management Workshops website at www.TimeManagementWorkshops.com). When your back pain gets intense enough, it becomes a major priority. Surgery or drugs seem like the easy way out, since they don’t require all this exercise. But my step father died from that kind of thinking.
About 15 years ago, before my back pain began, my step father (then 75 years of age) was in such back pain that he decided to have back surgery. The doctor told him there was risk, but there was a 70% chance that the surgery would be successful. Sound like good odds to you? I don’t know if the surgery itself was successful. My step father never lived to find out. He suffered a stroke in the recovery room immediately after the surgery and died within a few days.
That experience has left me with some negative feelings about spinal surgery. If it’s necessary, so be it. But if you haven’t been on a good solid stretching and exercise program for the year prior to your decision to have surgery, I feel you’re making a big mistake. Obviously this depends on the actual cause of your back pain. But if you are approaching 50, or are over 50 and you’re not on a daily back & abdominal stretching/exercise program, beware.
