The results of the largest randomized back pain trial of its kind shows acupuncture clearly helps people with chronic low back pain more than standard medical care. But the results of the SPINE (Stimulating Points to Investigate Needling Efficacy) study, just published in the May 11, 2009 Archives of Internal Medicine, has some researchers scratching their heads over the remarkable findings.

Muscle fitness can mean you have muscles that can lift heavier objects (strength) or muscles that will work longer before becoming exhausted (endurance). As you increase your muscle fitness, you will notice that you can carry heavy grocery bags more easily, pick up children without feeling as much strain, or carry heavy items longer before becoming too tired to continue. Having stronger muscles also protects your joints.

One part of muscle fitness is strengthening the muscles of your trunk. This strengthening is called core stabilization. It can help you have better posture and balance, and help protect you from injury.

Aerobic fitness increases the amount of oxygen that is delivered to your muscles, which allows them to work longer. Any activity that raises your heart rate and keeps it up for an extended period of time will improve your aerobic fitness.

The abdominals are probably the most popular muscles group because countless people are obsessed with having a flat stomach. Unfortunately, this muscle group has also raised numerous false abdominal beliefs throughout the years.

The normal human abdominal muscles form a rounded shape. Factors such as individual body type, age and gender could affect the shape and size of one’s abdomen. For this reason, it is physiologically impossible for a person to have a flat stomach.

Although an abdominal exercise could really tone your ab muscles, it does not necessarily mean that it also reduces the fat around its area. The fat surrounding the abdominal muscles will remain unless you burn more calories than your daily calorie intake.
