By Concept 10 10 –
A startling, 80 percent of adults will fall victim to low back pain at some point in their lives. It is the most common cause of disability for people before the age of forty-five, and second only to the common cold as a cause for a visit to the doctor.
We must have a strong and stable lower back to walk, stand, sit, stoop, squat, or lift; in short, a healthy and strong lower back is critical for virtually every activity of normal daily living.
Improving the strength of the lumbar muscles and connective soft tissues has long been recognized by orthopedists, chiropractors, and physical therapists as the cornerstone of low back rehabilitation. There is no doubt that regular strength training of the lumbar spine will both prevent and resolve lower back pain. The challenge is how to accomplish this goal.
The lumbar muscles can only be effectively isolated using a lumbar extension machine. Lumbar extension machines are designed with a series of restraints that prevent tilting of the pelvis, rotation around the hip joints, or contribution from the big and strong muscles of the buttocks and thighs that would interfere with the work of the low back muscles.
Fortunately, this unique piece of equipment is part of the Concept 10 10 workout. This workout includes six exercises on six pieces of equipment with one trainer and one client at a time. The scientific research on which Concept 10 10 is based has clearly shown that the training is uniquely beneficial to most forms of back pain. The equipment, which is the only one of its kind, isolates and directly works the lumbar muscles. It is exactly the weakness in these muscles which is the cause of most lower back pain.
Reducing and ultimately eliminating back pain is only one benefit of the Concept 10 10 workout. Loss of muscle tissue is one of the most important reasons for the increase of body fat, because muscles burn calories 24 hours a day, even when they are resting. Concept 10 10 training combined with a balanced caloric intake is a sure way to permanent fat loss and a slimmer and better functioning body.
Concept 10 10 training is also highly beneficial to athletes and those individuals seeking increased tone and strength. Completing the Concept 10 10 workout generally improves body strength and results in greater performance in any sports activity. At the same time, it will minimize the risk of injuries as you strengthen the bones, joints and surrounding muscles.
The entire workout can actually be done in less than 20 minutes, with each exercise taking about two minutes as the client does each movement in slow repetitions of 10 seconds forward and 10 seconds back. The machines are adjusted to work the body to the person’s individual level of muscular exhaustion. Each session or couple of sessions, depending on development, more weight is added to reach that level of fatigue.
