 Core & Abs

**If your lower back hurts during ab exercises, watch this.**

✅ **Stop the exercise** if you feel sharp or unusual pain in your lower back.

✅ **Brace your core** — gently tighten your abs before each rep.

✅ **Slow down** — controlled movements can help you maintain better form.

✅ **Keep your lower back controlled** during exercises like leg raises and crunches.

✅ **Try easier exercises** such as dead bugs, bird dogs, or modified planks.

✅ **Don’t push through pain** — if pain continues or is significant, get evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional.

**Stack Smart:** Strong abs start with good technique—not forcing your body through painful movements. 

Save this and protect your form during your next core workout.
