I f''d up my lower back last week so bad I've been a two a day cust at the chiro. My question is: what are the best excercises for your core. Last thursday the track got really rutted and I was on rails but couldn't hardly walk after dinner. Aside from stretching more what works for you faster guys.

Yeah I need to start training alot more. Seems I did the thing last year when the weather started getting nice. My speed is suprisingly good but the body isn't quite up to par.

It sounds gay, but Yoga.

My back hurt for years, between old MX injurys and BMX racing my back ached often. I did some researched and found yoga, the first 2 weeks it kicked my ass but I havent had a sore back since.

I was afraid someone would suggest that, but I've heard that some great things. Can't hurt my balance either. My Mom drug my older bro to a Hot Yoga class once, he said it was torture and he has less body fat on him than I have skin on my fore arm.

He's right, yoga

Have you checked out a Wii and a Wii Fit?
Lot of good core exercises and yoga, all in a simple motivating manner.
It also tracks all of your daily work, monitors your weight, your BMI and balance skills

Consider a Wii Fit

You're kidding right, a video game? I have a hard time sitting still as it is, the idea of being stuck in front of a tv? But wtf do I know, I'm just a dumb nobody kid.

Wii Fit actually is pretty good.

Before my doctors banned me from going to the gym, I used to go to a yoga/pilates fusion class 2-3 times a week. That sort of work does amazing things for core strength. You might think it looks easy but it will definitely kick your ass until you're used to it.

I use one of these for my pull ups, dips, and leg lifts.


I also use the perfect push up handles for all kinds of variations on push ups.
Moto, mountain biking, and skating the skate park for my cardio training.

It's not a game, I mean, it has games in it, but for what you want, it's a personal trainer


It measures your balance, weight distribution and force on the board.


For example, you do what look like simple torso twists, but you have to try and maintain your center of balance while doing it by keeping a red dot within a yellow circle...so you're exercising but working your balance to do the exercise at a perfect neutral balance location, it also give you a score based on performance.


It's not a video game, trust me.

I have fucked up back and when I told my PT trainer I was now doing Wii Fit, she was crazy happy and said even she does it every day.


Don't knock it

The demo comes up blank for some reason. But if you guys are serious, than I might go pick one up. Read enough of your guys post's to know you're credible sources.

It is an NSAID that is no longer available.

It works very very well.

I find that sex with super models is best (preferably female)
