MORNING EXERCISE TIPS: 

DOS AND DON’TS THAT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU

Why Morning Exercise Puts You at Risk

During the first hour after you rise, your disks are plumped from your overnight horizontal position.Adding the pressure of exercise — whether it is movement as in running, stretching, or lifting weights or moment pressure, a term used to describe the pressure that occurs when you push the vacuum cleaner or do planks, for instance, increases intervertebral pressure.

Is Any Morning Exercise Acceptable?

During that first hour, morning exercise as you know it may be off-limits. If protecting your back is a high priority, delaying movement is smart.

Spread the Word

This information is not exclusive to prime women. Younger, older, fit, and more sedentary individuals should pay equal attention to back health.

Share the information about morning exercise with friends and loved ones. If you have experienced a disk injury, you’re likely to be much more cautious – and for good reason.
