what exactly does it mean: pull your belly into your spine ??

It's just a way of illustrating the most effective way of toning your abdominal muscles.\nIf you think about pully your belly into your spine you are bringing those ab muscles in, verse pushes them out as many people do in sit-ups that can cause outward muscle growth. \nIt also keeps you from sticking your hips in instead of concentrating on the muscle group that will have the most effect.

when you do curl ups, you tend to reach all the way up right?...til your head touches your knees...the half curl up should be done as long as you could raise your upper part and as long as you could feel the pain on your abdomen...you feel it's burning when you've done 50 above curl up..this really a big help for people who wants to have a firm abs...

It means that you're willing to go all the way instead of just getting a short ride.\n\nWanna lift?!  LMAO!!!\n\n\nYou're too much!!!  Still LMFAO!!!

yes you can. I did the same thing. got up feeling great and then did a little stretching. the spur in my neck felt like an ice pick. now that you have done it once it will be easier to pull in future

This is a phrase which indicates extreme fear. It means to grasp something so tightly that your knucles turn white from lack of blood flow to them.

for an effective sit up, you need to make sure you are using your stomach(abs) and only your stomach to pull yourslef up, not your back

It's a nice little concave spot on the spine right above your butt on your lower back.  This is where the guy usually puts his hand when "guiding" a woman through a door or when dancing.

okay if you are collapsing then it probably means that your lower back is a weak point of your body. Stretch out your back by doing bridges and backbends. This will stretch out the lower part of your back and make it easier to go backwards.

Yeah it sounds like you have a rib out of place, ive had it happen to me a few times, make a appontment with a chiropractor, they will put it back in place and show you things you can do to stregthin that area so that way your rib wont pop back out, if you need a quick fix right now... the way i seen to get it back in at home, have you ever seen some people cross their arms and have someone lift them up to crack their back, well same idea but just sit on the persons lap, tell them to go up and back as much as possible arching your back as much as they can. This dosent always work but for the most part it does, the sure way to know if your rib is out of place from what i know is if it hurts to take a deep breath. sit in place and breath in as much as possible if you have a sharp pain in your sternum or in your back then yeah you know, try to get in today for the best results from your appointment the rib has to be out when you go, they have to know which one it is to give you the best excersises to do to keep that rib in place, if a rib is coming out like that the muscles around the rib need to be streghened to hold it where it needs to be...

It is a saying?  I thought it was something to do.  I couldnt understand what the cool thing about it was.  My rear does feel relaxed though.

Ouch! It sounds like you might have dislocated a disc and it's moving around in your spine now. It might not hurt but it might be causing damage to your body, so you should definitely go see an orthopedist as soon as you can. He will know what kind of treatment to give you. It might be some sort of exercise, some device to put on your back, or maybe even minor surgery (but if it doesn't hurt, it doesn't sound serious so don't worry!)

Yeah, sound like sciatica. A trapped nerve in the base of the spine. Lean with your back against something solid, like a wall & lift your body weight off the floor an inch or two with your arms straight. If the pain goes, it's probably sciatica.\nI've had it for 30 years. No problem if you know what you're dealing with.\nLie on your back, feet on the floor, knees up & gently move your legs from side to side about 10 times. It releases the trapped nerve.

There are many reasons for back pain, so naturally, the treatments vary as well. Here are the more common:\n1. Strained muscle from lifting or twisting - ice to back (20 minutes on and 20 minutes off) for the first 24 hours, then heat. \n2. Emotional tension (stress) causes the muscles all over to tighten up, but the back is where it is most likely to be noticed - treatment is to deal with the stress\n3. Poor posture, bad bed, or working in a position that puts a strain on the back muscles - Narrow down the cause of the problem and fix it. \n4. Physical abnormality, like a degenerative disc or vertebra - Short of surgery...which I don't advise except for extreme cases...the treatment is to treat the symptoms and know your limitations.\n\nIn all cases, a good exercise program is helpful in that it strengthens the muscles of the back as well as the muscles in the abdomen. This is important because weak back and abdominal muscles can lead to reoccurrences of the back pain. If the back pain is stress-related, exercise also helps control stress.

It helps strengthen the stomach, which in turn helps relieve the back, especially the lower back.  A Physical Therapist told me that whenever I sit, I should suck my stomach in to help my lower back, this is the same when standing.  It also helps with good posture.

You can't avoid it - that is how the body works.\n\nEveryone's belly does that when they sit down - especially when they lean over and look at their bellie.
