Maintaining 'Neutral Spine' and keeping your spine in optimal alignment is crucial when participating in an exercise program. This helps to reduce the risk of injury and allows the muscles to perform at their best during the workout.

In addition to injury prevention, maintaining neutral spine will allow the nerves that exit your spinal column maximal space and minimizing any pinching or compromise that may occur with repetitive bending and twisting.

Key Lesson Concepts:

• Maintaining Neutral Spine will minimize your chance of injury
• Keeping your back straight during exercise allows optimal muscle balance throughout your upper and lower body
• Maintaining Neutral Spine will allow the nerves exiting your spinal column an optimal environment to work properly and decreases your chance of pinching and compromise

Lesson Summary

When participating in an exercise program, it's essential to maintain a 'Neutral Spine' to keep your spine in optimal alignment. This practice is crucial for various reasons:

• Helps reduce the risk of injury during workouts
• Enables muscles to perform at their best
• Provides maximal space for nerves exiting the spinal column, minimizing pinching or compromise

Key Lesson Concepts:

• Maintaining Neutral Spine minimizes the risk of injury
• Keeping your back straight during exercise optimizes muscle balance in the upper and lower body
• Ensuring Neutral Spine provides an optimal environment for spinal nerves to function correctly, reducing the chances of pinching or compromise
