Q-Who on earth would ever choose to be weak rather than strong?
A-Almost everybody
It’s baffling that anyone would set themselves up for tragedy by intentionally pursuing weakness, but that’s what most people actually do.
As most people age they simply accept diminished capacity rather than fix themselves. Creeping weakness means we need to get on the ball and get stronger, obviously.
Developing a hernia can be life-changing, requiring surgery. Prevention is a smarter option. Abs exercises are meant for more than just looking good, as a strong core can go a long way in preventing weak spots in our abdominal wall from developing, no gym required.
Additionally, monitoring how you lift things, for example, can go a long way in preventing hernias. Flexing your abs strongly inward as you begin the lift is essential. Many people actually push their abs outward as they lift heavy objects.
Practice strongly flexing your abs inward multiple times daily, as you drive, wash dishes, wait in line, climb stairs, etc.
