Some of the best activities for a healthy spine include building core strength and improving flexibility. These exercises or activities include but are not limited to; yoga, swimming, Pilates, cycling, and walking. These activities tend to involve strengthening the core and the muscles surrounding the spine which is very important for a healthy spine. Certain positions in yoga or Pilates may work on your core or even relieve the pressure buildup we sometimes feel in our spine by stretching and flexing our spine in safe but different ways. Swimming, cycling, and walking are good ways to get cardio in and have also very low impact on the joints and bones in our body. This helps weight management while also giving your body the movement and activity it needs.
