Although they are popular an abs workout is a poor choice of workout. For two fundamental reasons; they over stress the spine, which could lead to injury. While your muscles seem stronger your core isn’t. This subject is normally met with common questions…
Is a strong muscle the same as a strong core?
Your core performs best as a whole unit. Many people assume by training each muscle on its own their core get stronger. A fully fit core is greater than the sum of its parts. To build a core like this we train it as a whole.
What do I do instead?
Replace your abs workout with a core workout made from Core Exercises. These exercise begin to move you away from single muscles and more into areas of the core and movements.
I don’t feel any pain?
Pain doesn’t equal injury. I’ve studied many injuries and I’ve found a common cause is not the moment/action that caused you pain but micro-traumas. These are small injuries that cause no pain initially but once a tipping point is reached the pain triggers.
