If You Have…Back Pain

Certified strength trainer Kendyl Singh is the instructor for this workout program designed to help alleviate back pain through targeted exercise. Stating that 80% of the populace experience some back pain (with 20% suffering from chronic back pain), this instructional guide explores back anatomy (deep core muscles and relevant vertebrae) through detailed graphics and onscreen vocabulary. The focus of the workout itself is on improving strength, function, and alignment through a range of 25 dynamic and static exercises, including leg and diagonal extensions, ab crunches, cat stretch, bridges, and more (with modifications for both low-impact and more advanced approaches). Set against the backdrop of Banff National Park's lovely Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada, this is recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
