The #1 way to reduce lower back pain is exercises that strengthen your core and keep your back in balance, like planks, bridges, and pelvic tilts. That’s according to a review of 21 clinical trials involving more than 30,000 people. And doing core-strengthening exercises, aerobics, and hamstring stretches before your first-ever twinge of back pain makes you 35% less likely to develop back pain at all.

If you want abs of steel, skip the crunches and planks, and do cardio! Yes, planks strengthen your core, but you won’t SEE that core without aerobic exercise. In fact, exercise scientists from Auburn University found people doing abs exercises for 6 weeks lost NO abdominal fat, because we can’t spot-reduce fat. But consistent aerobic exercise, like running or swimming, plus strength training and cutting calories DOES lead to weight loss, everywhere on your body, including your stomach.

Ever wonder WHY it’s healthier to have a big butt, than to have a beer belly?

Here’s the answer, courtesy of researchers at the University of Oxford. Belly fat – also known as abdominal fat or visceral fat – is dangerous because it often surrounds vital organs and releases inflammatory chemicals into your system on a consistent basis. And those chemicals have been linked to heart disease, insulin resistance, and diabetes. But extra padding around the hips and thighs produces beneficial hormones that trap fatty acids, which boosts heart health and keeps blood sugar spikes in check. So what should you do if you have more abdominal fat than lower body fat? Eat fiber-filled foods to lower insulin and cholesterol levels. You should also do aerobic exercise – at least 30 minutes a day – to lose the fat. And get your blood sugar and blood fats tested to check for abnormalities.

Got 20 minutes? That’s all it takes to boost your brainpower. That’s the takeaway of a new Georgia Tech study, which shows that SHORT bursts of strength training can increase and protect our long-term memory. And researchers say this fits with lots of previous studies showing that aerobic exercise helps us stay sharp well into old age. The reason? Aerobic exercise triggers the release of hormones linked to helping our brain form and keep memories. And all it takes is just 20 minutes of strength training a week – say, lifting weights, or doing push-ups.
