Lazy back- Maybe it’s your job?

It seems like every one at the moment is suffering from a sore back. Maybe it’s time we look at our core strength and bio mechanics at work. A majority of back pain is caused by poor core abdominal muscles and fatigue.
Core abdominal muscles are the deep abdominal muscles of our trunk. They help stabilize our trunk and protect your spin. They normally switch on sporadically during certain movements like walking and lifting.
Poor core muscles can develop from poor posture, usually caused by an office job. Our sedentary jobs keep us in a sitting posture for hours on end. Sitting switches off core muscles, our jobs make our core abs lazy.
Luckily you don’t have to change jobs to fix this problem! To prevent back stiffness and poor core strength get up out of your chair every 45min for a stretch and a walk around. You can also build up your core strength by doing a plank hold or a FitBall work outs. In addition have a look at your posture try to stand tall and hold your tummy in whilst walking around.
