Many people believe that rest is best for a painful back, but actually, what your back really needs when it's hurt is exercise. Regular exercise relieves back pain by strengthening and stretching the muscles that support the spine and helps to prevent future injury. This is a use it or lose it situation: the more you rest, the weaker your back gets, even if it is hurt. Studies have actually shown that you can heal your back pain faster and get back to your regular activities with just two days of rest. This article will focus on Yoga Exercises. Remember to contact your doctor before beginning any exercise program. YOGA EXERCISES FOR YOUR BACK A good, regular yoga practice will go far in relieving the stress and tension that sometimes cause mild back pain, and in fact, studies have shown that yoga is the number one most effective exercise for relieving back pain. However, not all yoga poses relieve back pain, and some can in fact aggravate existing pain, so it is important to know which poses will be most helpful in relieving back pain. It is best to do these exercises under the supervision of a certified yoga instructor, and if you encounter any problems with these poses, you should consult an expert. Even just one or two sessions with a yoga instructor can help, as an instructor will help you with your form and posture during poses. Here are some of the best yoga poses for relieving back pain. Each pose should be held from five to ten seconds, depending upon your level of comfort, and should be done on a mat or other soft, supportive surface. CORPSE: Lie flat on your back in a relaxed position, arms resting at your sides, palms down, and legs lying naturally, with knees turned out slightly. If it hurts your back to have your knees turned outward, do this pose with knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Breathe in and out for a few seconds while allowing any tension to leave the body. CAT STRETCH: Start out on your hands and knees with a flat back. Your hands should be directly under your shoulders with fingers spread. Knees should be directly under the hips. Head is held loosely so that you are looking at the floor between your hands. Inhale, and as you exhale, arch your back toward the ceiling, tuck your chin in to your chest so that you are looking at your navel, and tuck your tailbone underneath. Hold, then release back into your original position. WIND-RELEASING POSE: Lie flat on your back as in Corpse pose. As you inhale, bend your knee, place your hands right below the knee, and draw your leg towards your chest. Your left leg should remain flat on the floor. Exhale and bring your forehead up to touch your knee. Inhale, and then as you exhale, return to your original position. Repeat with the other leg. SAGE TWIST: Warning for this pose-it involves twisting your back, so you should take particular care not to twist too far or you risk aggravating any existing back pain. This should be a gentle stretch; twist just as far as is comfortable. Sit on the floor with both legs out in front of you. Bend your right knee, lift your right leg over your left, and place your right foot on the floor next to your left knee. Sitting with spine straight, place your left elbow on the right side of your right knee. Bend your left arm so that your left fingertips are touching your right hip, while at the same time, twisting to look over your right shoulder. This is where you need to be careful not to twist too far. Hold for a few seconds, release, and repeat on the opposite side. PALM TREE: Stand with feet facing forward, arms at your sides, weight distributed evenly on both feet. Raise both arms over your head, interlock your fingers, and turn your hands so that your palms are facing upward. Next, place your palms on your head and turn your head so that you are looking slightly upward. Stretch your arms upwards, and at the same time, come up onto your toes if you can do so without pain. Stretch your entire body upward and hold, if you can. Some people have difficulty balancing during this pose, so just do the stretching part if you need to. FISH POSE: Lie on your back with knees bent and arms at your side. Arch your back as far as you comfortably can and raise it off the ground by pushing the floor with your elbows. If you can, tilt your head backwards and rest the crown of your head on the floor. Breathe deeply from the diaphragm and hold pose for one minute if you can. LOCUST: Lie face down with arms at the side, palms down, and elbows slightly bent with fingers pointing towards the feet. Raise your legs and thighs as high off the ground as possible without causing your back any pain. Hold for one second and repeat up to twelve times. This can be a vigorous exercise so you must take care to strain already injured muscles. BENDING FORWARD POSTURE: Stand up straight with feet together and arms hanging loosely along your sides. Breathe in deeply and raise your arms straight above your head. While breathing out, bend forward and touch your toes if you can. If you can't reach your toes, grab hold of your ankles or calves. To complete the pose, you should touch your head to your knees, but this may be too difficult for many who suffer from lower back pain. Your movements during this pose should be smooth, not jerky. Yoga clothes should be comfortable and functional. They should allow you to move freely and not distract you from your practice. They should feel good against your skin so they don't cause any irritation. Ideally, the clothing should be absorbe... more to this article Article category: Yoga Information Yoga Your Way To A Happy VacationThere have been many studies into holiday stress.

Vježbe za ispred televizora Nemojte se prisiljavati izvoditi vježbe izvan granica koje su ugodne za vaše tijelo. Ako osjećate bilo kakvu bol ili napetost, nemojte izvoditi dalje vježbu. Ukoliko ne možete odraditi sve setove pojedine vježbe, napravite onoliko koliko možete, te s vremenom povećavajte broj. -1- Zagrijavanje Dok ležite na kauču zagrijavanje možete napraviti tako da nogama simulirate pokrete koje uobičajeno imate nogama dok vozite bicikl. Legnite na kauč i ispružite obje noge. Podignite lagano jednu i savijte je u koljenu. Dok je vraćate u početni položaj isto to napravite s drugom nogom. Zatim naizmjence tri minute „vozite bicikl“. S vremenom povećavajte brzinu i vrijeme izvođenja vježbe. -2- Istezanje Vježba 1. Ispružite se dok ležite na kauču. Dignite ruke iznad glave i dobro istegnite cijelo tijelo, a posebno leđa. Neka vam ruke i stopala teže suprotnim stranama. Zadržite 5 sekundi i opustite. Vježba 2. Dok ležite na leđima savijte noge u koljenima. Ispružite jednu nogu i lagano je dignite iznad sebe istežući bedra, koljeno i zglob. Nemojte koljeno potpuno ispružiti, neka ostane lagano savijeno cijelo vrijeme. Zadržite 5 sekundi i vratite u početni položaj. Ponovite i s drugom nogom. -3- Vrat i leđa Vježba 3. U sjedećem položaju dok opušteno i mirno držite ruke i leđa, nagnite bradu prema naprijed. Zadržite pet sekundi, vratite u početni položaj. Zatim pogledajte u strop naginjući glavu unatrag. Zadržite 5 sekundi i vratite u početni položaj. Zatim glavu nagnite desno pokušavajući ušima dotaknuti rame, zadržite pet sekundi. Vratite u početni položaj, zatim isto ponovite naginjući glavu u lijevo. Napravite 5 setova. Važno je da se ne prisiljavate naginjati glavu izvan granica koje su ugodne za vaše tijelo. Ako osjećate bilo kakvu bol ili napetost, nemojte izvoditi dalje vježbu. -4- Ramena Vježba 4. Ovo je lagana vježba koja se također izvodi u sjedećem položaju. Jednostavno, istovremeno podignite oba ramena, i rotirajte ih u smjeru suprotno od sata. Ponovite vježbu desetak puta. Zatim napravite isto u smjeru kazaljke na satu. -5- Trbuh Vježba 5. Najjednostavnija vježba za trbuh koja se može izvoditi u ležećem i sjedećem položaju je da uvučete trbušne mišiće prema kralježnici. Pretvarajte se kao da pokušavate dotaknuti kralježnicu. Zadržite položaj 5 sekundi, opustite se i ponovite 20 puta. S vremenom možete pokušati izolirati gornje abdominalne i donje abdominalne mišiće, te ih odvojeno vježbati. Vježba 6. Trbušnjaci. Legnite na leđa s nogama svinutim u koljenima i podignutim tako da listovi i bedra čine pravi kut međusobno, ali i u odnosu na gornji dio tijela.

Zatim se vratite u početni položaj. Napravite 20 ponavljanja. Opustite se 30 sekundi, a zatim napravite još jedan set, a zatim još jedan. Ukupno tri seta s pauzama od 30 sekundi. Postupno možete povećavati broj ponavljanja. Vježba 7. Legnite na leđa, s rukama sa strane ili ispod stražnjice. Podignite noge 6 do 10 cm od poda i držite nekoliko sekundi (koliko god možete izdržati bez naprezanja vrata ili donjeg dijela kralježnice). Opustite se i ponovite koliko puta možete. Ovu vježbu nemojte izvoditi ukoliko imate bolove u leđima. Na početku vježbu možete izvoditi tako da jednu nogu svinete u koljenu, a drugu podižete, kao na slici iznad. Vježba 8.
