Walking and the Back
Walking and the Back (Spine)
Less than half of Americans exercise on a regular basis. A simple activity such as walking 30 minutes a day can help improve general health and spine health. Regular exercise does not have to be intense to afford significant spine-health benefits. Most chronic back pain is related to some form of structural weakness or failure. A broad spectrum of health benefits has been assigned to walking. These benefits include increased bone density, weight control, reduced stress levels, increased sensitivity to insulin, diminished body fat and improved cardiovascular health. Walking to improve stamina also helps improve the endurance of spine muscles, thus providing for better spinal stability during physical activities throughout the day. Walking is also one of the best exercises for reducing the risk for falls.
Numerous studies have shown that regular walking may help you live longer. If you wish to lose weight to reduce stress on the spine, burning 250 calories a day without changing your caloric intake will help you lose about _ pound per week. For the average person walking two miles will burn approximately 150 calories. When developing a walking program always set realistic goals.
It is important to wear good shoes with proper arch supports.
If you are a women age 50 or man age 40 or older and have not been exercising on a regular basis, always talk to your doctor before engaging in an exercise program. Discuss your exercise intentions and goals with your doctor.
Walking promotes spinal movement of spinal joints contributing to improved health of the disks and spinal joints (facets). Studies have shown that dynamic loading of tissues is critical to musculoskeletal health. Walking also promotes rhythmic segment movement of the arms and legs.
