Mind that steel ruler. Habit of the week.

The integrity of the core muscles

Nine out of ten of us will experience a sore back some time in our lives.  That is nearly all of us.  One of the causes of chronic back troubles is simply a failure to maintain the natural curves of the spine, particularly when ex are distracted by a heavy load, or even watching TV.

The lumbar curve is the focus of this week's habit.  It's at the back of the waist.  This week's habit is to imagine a 30cm ruler which defines the interval between the pubic bone and the breast bone.
Try to maintain the distance and the integrity at the front of your body, while standing, while sitting and importantly, while squatting or lunging.  Let's not collapse or slump into our hip tendons and bones.  Habit is the week mind your own steel ruler.
