Those core workouts or ab exercises you are doing could be increasing your back pain instead of making it better. If you have had back pain or deal with a 'bad back,' you are not alone, hundreds of thousands of people are looking for the right core exercises to get rid of back pain.
Dr. Stuart McGill has spent more than 30 years researching biomechanics of the human spine and has developed the exercise techniques that could help you to eliminate pain so you can enjoy ALL of your favorite activities. On this episode of the All About Fitness podcast (also available on audio platforms), Dr. McGill identifies possible origins of back pain and discusses the benefits of strength training for reducing pain while developing an optimal level of fitness. This is an in-depth and educational discussion with one of the leading experts in the world on the subject of strength training for the core (and all of your other muscles).
