Eat Fat to Lose Fat

Sounds kinda crazy at first, doesn’t it?

5 Flat Abs Exercises You Can Do If You Have a Bad Back

If you have a bad back but you want to start a flat abs program - the first question you’ll probably ask yourself is which exercises can you do that won’t hurt your back?

In fact, the fear of aggravating a current back injury and suffering even more pain is for many people a very good reason why exercise is the last thing on their mind.

But unless you have a very serious back problem such as a slipped disc, muscle tissue tear or a structural spinal problem, the *right* type of exercise can still be part of your daily routine.

It is important to realise the inextricable connection between the strength and function of your stomach muscles and the stability and health of your back. A weak, malfunctioning set of stomach muscles is often the very reason why so many people suffer back pain in the first place.
