Stuart McGill, a professor of spine biomechanics at the University of Waterloo in Canada, demonstrates a core exercise program that emphasizes all the major muscles that support the spine and prevent injury!
Planks, bird dogs, side planks, TRX planks with pike, etc, are where it's at for strengthening core/abs and avoiding spinal issues and or making pre existing issues worse.. I have not done a crunch in many moons myself.

Hmm, the most difficlut and demanding ab movements in the gym are the best. Who'd have thought it?Originally Posted by WillBrink

Alwyn's info is quite good and I bet you wouldn't go wrong with that core/ab program.

Well no doubt that core ab exercise program is best for back and with these exercise program we can secure our back. I do these exercise program once in a week and suggest everyone to do these program.

Great info, thanks! I'm not big on ab workouts but the wife does crunches and the ball crunches all the time, the one's he recommends not doing. Will definitely pass this along to her.

Are crunches really bad for you? or are they just ineffective? I've heard they're damaging to your spine but is it true?

How many other proper exercises have you bending and flexing your spine as much as humanly possible?
On the other hand, how many exercises instead require in proper form for you to keep your back upright and arched?
