I work out at least 4 times a week for an hour on an exercise bike, logging in from 10 to 12 miles a day. YOUR INJURY COULD BE… Low Back Instability. REHAB YOUR INJURY BY… Sit With Good Support and Posture: Use a sweatshirt or pillow to help you support your back and posture while sitting in a chair or car. Finding Neutral: Lie on your back, with your knees up. Tilt your pelvic to find your neutral. Neutral is a position where you should not have any pain. Partial Sit-Up: Holding your neutral position, perform a partial crunch by crossing your arms over your chest and use your stomach muscles to partially lift up. Leg Lifts: Lie on your stomach with a pillow under your stomach and support your head in your heads. Lift one leg off the table about 4 to 6 inches. Repeat this 20 times (10 times on each leg). Performing less with better body mechanics is preferred. Can’t find any recent video’s that are directly related to what is hurting you?
