Ow.
While Christmas shopping, I spent much of my time shopping for myself. The reason I have money is because I don't go near stores. Temptation stays far, far away from me. Christmas brings me into contact with many stores and many sales.Anyway, I've been looking for a way to work my stomach muscles without killing my back. I've used an exercise ball at the club and it never seemed to bother my back too much, so I bought one for cheap. Last night, I started the exercise regimen. It didn't start off too tough but I only made it 25 minutes into the workout before I thought I was going to die and had to stop.
Do you know what hurts today? My upper back, my lower back, my delts, and my knees. You know what doesn't seem to have any significant pain? My stomach muscles. So basically, I nearly killed myself for nothing. I've never had knee pain before and my back can't take this.
Swimming is great for all of my joints and my delts, arm and leg muscles, but it does nothing for my stomach. Why can't there be a way for people with major back problems to exercise their stomach muscles?
