🚫 Stop doing these if you have back pain!
It’s great to stay active, but not every exercise is safe for your spine. In fact, a few common moves that people think are “healthy” can actually make your back pain worse:
Sit-ups → They load too much pressure onto your spinal discs. Instead of strengthening your core safely, they can push your pain further and even trigger flare-ups.
Straight-leg toe touches → You may feel like you’re “stretching” your hamstrings, but what you’re really doing is overstretching ligaments and pulling on the lower back. That repeated strain can lead to even more stiffness and pain.
Weightlifting with bad form → Lifting heavy isn’t the enemy, but poor technique is. Rounding your back or jerking the weight puts enormous stress on your spine and can set you up for injuries that take months to heal.
👉 If you’re already dealing with back pain, swap these risky moves for safer, spine-friendly options. Think gentle stretches, core stability exercises, or even simple walking.
And remember—if the pain lingers for weeks, shoots down your leg, or disrupts your sleep, it’s a sign you need more than just at-home fixes.
