What core exercises would be good to do ? Especially with weights.

Great video, really helpful. It would be much better if you could do a video, instructing which core exercises are best to work around the injury? Those ones you said not to do are my favourite, so now I'm worried I won't be able to train my abbs 😢

Abdominals are different to the lower layer of muscle known as the core

I agree somewhat, however depending on the exercise in question, Modifications may be required to avoid aggravating a bulging disc. Sit ups for example is horrendous for your lumbar, it's safer to do reclined leg lifts with some padding under the lumbar and not attempting to lower the legs below 1 foot from the floor. I'm no expert but I've had 3 years of yoga teacher training and I've been learning how to avoid my pain. This is just my personal experience. Avoiding pain has been crucial to my healing and I'm no longer suffering any siatic pain spikes. I suffered for years in pain and just needed to learn more about anatomy/physiology and listen to what my body was telling me. This is a very good educational channel, fairplay to Will Harlow. I hope this is helpful to someone ❤

Great video - really insightful, especially as I do have a herniated disc and have been guilty of falling into the trap of 'strengthening the core' to aid better back health. As a result of watching one of your videos, have changed my daily stretch / core exercise routine and my back is feeling stronger and my torso 'lean' becoming less noticeable. I've still been performing the Table-Top and a few other Pilates-type exercises - which I thought were okay, since the back / lower-back, is flat and being supported by one's core. One exercise I do recommend (as you also do in another video) is the alternating arm / leg raises. This has been a game changer for me. I now do this excercise very, very slowly (Tai Chi like) which boosts the benefits even more. As a result, I can actually bend over and put my socks on without having to rock back onto the bed! Keep the videos coming!

Christ...I Was doing all them 😳. I have recently had mri. Have disc bulge at L1/L2,L5/S1 and protrusion at L4/L5. Will defo avoid all these and the Russian twists with kettle bells. I'm a 54 year old male so this has been excellent info. Have seen your preferred exercices so will start introducing them into my routine now I'm on the mend and 6 weeks since back 'went' again.Excellent channel for an aging bloke from South Wales who is into his fitness...but still thinks he's in his 20's 🙄🤷.

very right. I have L4-L5 disc bulge and all the exercise you mention gives me trigger and bad muscle spasm in low back.I am already avoiding them before seeing this video but good to see the reason.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on this subject. I live in a house with four flights of steps. Can this course my bulging discs to become worse. Or can it be classed as good exercise.

Hi, my question is: what should sport active people with some lumbar bulging discs do in order to minimize the changes of agravate the injury? What exercises? What stretches? How many times a week? Thanks

@talitakumi8679 Жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot! My physiotherapy included some of these exercises but not so high, I had to lift my head and shoulders only a bit, as well as leg by leg, they called it static exercises (I have bulging discs L4 and L5 I think with lateral extrusion). Once I even interrupted the therapy cycle and gave it up for a period of time because it got worse. My question is about exercises in the pool (is making bycicle crunch, lifting straight legs forward, backward and sideways ok in the pool, that's what we were doing). What would you suggest to work out in the pool? Thanks a lot. Your advice in all your videos is great.

I do a lot of planks plank variations and seem to help a lot. Crunches, sit-ups, and leg raises are the worse exercises for a bulging disc.

Really useful. Could be more useful if an alternative was given as xtra information

Seems like the dead bug is another one to avoid due to strain on low back. What do you think?

Informative video, thank for. But what should I do? Planks? Bird Dog planks? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially by my lower back.

@talitakumi8679 Жыл бұрын

Forgot one more question: are traction exercises (I think that's what it's called) good for bulging discs ok -you lay on you back and the lower part of the bench or whatever it is called pulls you under controlled increassing pressure? Thanks a lot.

This video reinforced what I already thought about core exercises. But, is there anything you would recommend for strengthening the core? All I know to do are exercises that indirectly cause the core muscles to work to hold up the rest of the body.

Planks are ok with bulging and herniated disc?

@danielbaciu9507 Жыл бұрын

Hi, regarding the leg raises, what's your opinion if your back remains flat on the floor during the exercise? It's still a bad exercise for bulging disk? Thank you!

@johndrieman3115 Жыл бұрын

I assume these need to be avoided even after your disk is healed, especially if you are over 50, right?

@WheelerRobin Жыл бұрын

I would like an answer to this. I hope to be able to do them at some point as I'm thinking about joining the military. It's dead lifts and heavy leg press that triggers my back so definitely leaving those out. But sit-ups are essential for the military

Please, I just want to know how about air cycling without machine!!!!!! , just laying down and moving the legs while the back in normal dorsal position

Thanks a lot Will for these precious recommendations. As far as I am concerned, I am now able to do the bycile crunch about twice a week (3 sets, 10 reps each leg), does that mean I am closed to being healed?
