This Move Ages Your Spine

Published: Tue, 12/18/18


But REAL fitness experts threw it into the trash can YEARS ago, knowing the dangers and how ineffective it is.

5 Reasons You Should Stop Doing THIS Move Immediately

1) THIS causes lower back stress.
 
A 1995 study found that this movement placed over 3,000N of force on the lower spine, which could cause herniated discs. Imagine willingly applying that force on any other part of your body through exercise? You wouldn't.


2) THIS moves ages your spine. Your spine has a shelf life. 
 
You only have so many movements in your spine before it starts to deteriorate. You can’t repair it. You can’t change it. That’s how it is. The more you stress your spine, the more you age your spine.

That’s fact. So why would you actively try to ruin your spine at its most vulnerable point causing it to age faster and further?


3) THIS movement does not aid good posture; it reinforces bad posture.

When you realize what this movement is and what it does, it's a no-brainer to ditch it immediately.

You're just replicating a harmful position that is known to cause unwanted strain on your spine.


4) THIS movement does not PROPERLY strengthen your spine.
 
You're becoming weaker, less powerful, and more susceptible to problems.

You see, this movement is not at all functional. It does not replicate ANY natural movement our bodies were designed for. Our bodies thrive on exercises in alignment with their function.

We are meant to be upright and be able to bend, twist, reach and extend.


5) THIS movement DOES NOT work for your core.
 
Yes, you feel the burn. But it's a fake burn - it feels good, but does it actually deliver results? No.

This movement misses your main core muscles completely. The narrow range of exercise does nothing to strengthen your deep structural muscles.

So the core muscles you DO end up with tell a lie. They don’t represent strength. They don’t represent inner power. In fact, they put this muscle group out of balance and increase the risk of injury.

What if I told you that creating these "superficial" abs actually takes more time, more energy and wastes much more effort?
