Do you suffer from back pain? I know I do and I must admit that after a hard run my back pain can be worse. Being a runner, I am guilty of not paying attention to the rest of my body muscles. Yes, I do all my running stretches to ensure that I will be able to continue running injury free for many years to come. But I find it so easy to forget about my upper body and core strength and I am often suffering from a sore lower back.
I used to do exercises on the ball for core strength and I really believe in the importance of building and maintaining a strong core. However, those exercises have kind of fallen to the wayside. I have been reading lately about the Roman Chair as a back exercise machine. It looks like it could provide a good workout and is supposed to be very good for your lower back and abs. If any readers out there have any personal experience with the Romain Chair, please share them in the comments section.
