Back injury 6 weeks out!
on 1/17/16 2:55 pm
When did you start doing some core strengthening? I've been walking regularely. I was told not till 3 month mark, but now, 4 days before I go back to work, I've had a lower back injury and now am on dr orders to not lift anything over 10lbs.
Which exercises should I start with to strengthen my core, but not mess with my abdomen?
Thanks!
Sorry to hear,
I'm 13 weeks out from fracturing a vertebra. It's the second time I fracture it in less than 18 months. I would keep to the walking until you are cleared. Backs are not to be messed with.
Good luck!
