Why is there pain in my lower back while doing ab exercise, is this normal?
I still have lower back pain. I have done crunches on the floor and off while using gym equipment and still I have pain in my lower back.
Also I did some leg lifts were you balance yourself using your forearms and lift your legs up using the lower abs. But I didn’t feel my abs working just the upper muscles in my back.
Will I feel it eventually?
Any advice
Like someone said already, it wouldn’t hurt to exercise your lower back as well, just to give it a little more strength and endurance. Your lower back muscles serve as the antagonist muscles to your abs, meaning they work in contrast to your ab muscles. So, when you get to the end of the concentric (actual lifting) part of your sit up, your lower back muscles actually halt your movement. You may not realize it, but they’re doing some work too when you do sit ups. If your doing elevated leg lifts, you are using your upper body and upper extremities to hold and stabilize yourself. Your upper body muscles are most likely just getting fatigued from having to hold and stabilize all of your body weight. That is quite common.
