Oblique Abdominal Exercise to Prevent And Manage Back Pain

Photo: kzenon

Any back exercise routine worth its salt includes work for the oblique abdominals. The oblique abdominals consist of 2 pairs of ab muscles. There's an internal oblique and an external oblique on each side of the trunk (in front). The obliques enable you to twist and tilt your spine, and they help stabilize the trunk, otherwise known as the core.

This beginner level exercise involves an ab crunch (or ab curl, if you're into Pilates) combined with a rotational movement of the shoulder. Experts recommend doing a back exercise routine every day -- this exercise can be included in your routine on some or all days.
