The first taboo for fitness - bend over and hunch your back!

During the fitness process, have you heard the saying "Rise your head and chest, straighten your back, don't bend and hunch your back"

　　Believe this sentence is a truth that runs through any training!

　　Why shouldn't you bend and hunch your back during training? What are the dangers? 　　In fact, it means, why should you maintain a good spinal posture anytime and anywhere! Especially when carrying weights (including lifting dumbbells, holding children, carrying shopping bags, and carrying a box of beer home)

　　I like to compare the spine to a pillar made of bricks and cement: the spine is a piece of brick, and there is a soft cement sandwich between the bricks (intervertebral discs)

　　When we When building bricks and cement neatly, the cement column can withstand a lot of pressure, and it is no problem to stand on an elephant. Because the brick itself is very pressure-resistant, as long as the force can be transmitted smoothly, the brick column can stand without shaking.

　　However, if we cover the brick column today like a stack of almost poured out, the brick column will no longer bear heavy pressure

　　At this time the pressure will be concentrated on one side of the column. Even if it does not collapse, the soft cement will be squeezed out to the side with less pressure. (You can imagine pinching a sandwich cookie and pinching the sandwich inside)

　　The same is true for our spine. If you raise your head and straighten your chest to maintain the naturalness of the spine. Curve, you can carry children steadily, do strength training, and hold heavy objects without worrying about lower back pain coming to your door.

　　But if we let the core muscles be lazy, bend over and hunch your back or bulge your stomach when lifting weights, this is equivalent to covering the brick column tilts, and the transmission of strength will be concentrated in a part of the spine.

　　This will not only over-pull the ligaments and muscles around the spine, but also cause our intervertebral discs to bear a great pressure. It is like a sandwich biscuit. So it is absolutely necessary to maintain a natural spinal curve when carrying weights, without hunching or bulging belly. It is also very important.

　　See all kinds of incorrect force in the gym. When pose, you can't help but worry about them

　　When you see this, readers may want to ask: How do I know that I have a natural spinal curve?

　　Think of this is a very professional field and you need to have a considerable understanding of the human body, not to mention that it is difficult for people to see their backs when exercising.

　　As long as you have the conditions, please find a professional coach, yoga teacher, and physical therapist to guide you. Don't think that you are talented/born will not be injured. Sports stars such as Tiger Woods, Federer, and KOBE have coaches, let alone us ordinary people!
