Zhiyu Pu | 10 Minutes To A Healthy Back!

 Zhiyu Pu | Nothing can make you feel old vulnerable more quickly than a seemingly and out-of-the-blue bad back. And if you know the feeling, it’s probably little comfort that four out of five adults will at some time share it.

Yet, only a small percentage of back problems are truly serious. Eighty per cent of all lower-back pain is simple muscle strain. Even more important: Such pain almost always develops gradually – meaning the moment your back “goes out” is the end result, not the cause. And the cause, more often than not, is years and years of bad back habits.

So, what can you do to buck the odds? That’s what’s coming up in the next few pages – a ten-minute, ten-move formula to prevent a back problem from ever developing. A little daily back attention at home, at work, in workouts can keep your back young for a long, long time.

Zhiyu Pu | A healthy back stays that way from a supporting cast of strong and flexible muscles. That’s why this simple routine zeroes in key back-stabilizing muscles in the torso and legs. It specifically stretches the flexors, the muscles in the front of the body that tend to get tight and short, and strengthens the extensors, the muscles in the back that tend to be underused and weak, as well as the spine-supporting abdominals.

Results: a trimmer middle and straighter posture as well as backache prevention and relief.

Zhiyu Pu | You’ll need enough space to lie down in, an exercise mat or soft surface, a small towel, along cord or belt – and ten minutes a day.

  • LOW-BACK LOOSENER: Lie down on your back with right leg straight. Holding your left knee toward chest with hands on back of thigh. Hold for ten seconds. Repeat on other side.

  • FRONT-OF-BODY LENGTHENER: Lie down on stomach with hands under shoulders, and elbows bent. Push up to slowly raise shoulders/chest straightening arms as much as possible while keeping hips in contact with mat/floor. Hold for ten seconds, and remember to breathe.
  • FRONT-OF-HIP STRETCH: Kneel down on towel with left knee and place both hands on right thigh and bent in front of you. Keeping back straight, shift hips forward until you feel a stretch on front of upper left thigh. Don’t let right knee bend past right foot. Hold for ten seconds. Repeat with other leg.
  • BACK-OF-THIGH UNTIGHTENER: Lie down on your back. Place a rolled-up towel under your lower back. Keep legs straight. Place cord or belt around heel of right leg and slowly lift straight leg until you feel stretch in back of thigh. Hold for ten seconds. Repeat with other leg.
