Reduce Back Pain Today with Four Simple Steps

Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) June 6, 2007 -- Your mother always warned you to sit up straight -- and she was right. Correcting your posture is one of the four ways men can simply and easily reduce back pain, says Fitness Expert David Berger, who is raising awareness about the causes of men's back pain as part of National Men's Fitness Week (June 11th-17th).

"Men's back pain is increasingly becoming a cause for major concern; in fact, statistics show that 7 of out 10 men will suffer from back pain," says Berger. "National Men's Fitness Week is a perfect time to focus on back pain, which is often preventable with just a few minor lifestyle adjustments and a commitment to exercise."

Berger says there are three main causes for chronic back pain: incorrect breathing, poor posture, and weak core muscles, all of which are addressed in detail in his Number One Me™ DVD (www.numberoneme.com). By taking the following steps, men can actively reduce pressure on their back and lessen back pain.

1.    Breathe Easy: Breathe using your diaphragm, not your chest: Lying down, place a hand over your abdomen; on every inhalation focus on pushing your stomach out (using diaphragm muscle) then exhale slowly. Perform this exercise daily until perform diaphragmatic breathing regularly
2.    Stand Up Straight, Mister: Stand against a wall. Have your heels, hips, shoulders and back of your head against the wall - this is the epitome of excellent posture! If this feels very awkward it is probably because you normally do not exhibit good posture. Take an internal snapshot of how you feel from your head to your toes- then step away from the wall. Keep practicing this exercise until you are always walking and standing tall. This posture incorporates your posture/core muscles correctly, also raises your rib cage (which allows for greater diaphragmatic inhalations) and pulls your head and shoulders up.
3.    Go Beyond Crunches: Round out your core routine with oblique exercises which will work your internal and external spinal rotators (like the 1, 2, 3 crunch or Seated Twist) and with back extensors exercises (like Lying Alternate Reach or Supermans).
4.    Keep Pushing It: Get the best of both worlds by performing exercises in a circuit (moving from one exercise to the next) fashion. You will gain strength plus get some cardio benefit from the non-stop action along with maximizing your caloric output and time!

Always consult a physician before starting this or any fitness program, Berger says. For more information on how to improve your core fitness, visit www.numberoneme.com for online exercise videos, nutrition information, and more.

Who has the Worst Pain
During the 28 years I have been interacting with bereaved people, one of the most frequent questions I have been asked is, "Who has the worst pain?" Do bereaved parents suffer more than widows and widowers? Do children whose parents die feel more agony than children who lose a sibling? Is it harder to watch a loved one suffer for a long time before death releases the victim than it is to answer the doorbell or the phone at midnight and suddenly hear the news of tragedy? Is suicide worse than homicide? Is the death of an "older" child more difficult to grieve than the death of a newborn or infant?If there were one, clear and definitive answer to those questions, grieving could be neatly catalogued and mourners could be organized into conveni...
