What can we do to “take care of” our backs?
You need to prepare your back by strengthening your muscles.
All the muscles in our body form the musculature. It is very important that we strengthen them so they are well prepared for all the extra effort that we need to make.

Playing sports is a good solution! Think; think…there must surely be some sport that you especially like: basketball, football, swimming, athletics…whatever that sport may be, it will be good for you. Make the most of your playtime to play anything you enjoy, but not be simply sitting down. That way you move your muscles! And most of all NEVER STOP PLAYING SPORTS. It is important that you develop very strong, resistant and elastic muscles. |

Sitting down correctly is also very important. Remember that you spend many hours at school and if you do not sit properly, you can end up harming your back. The correct posture is sitting as far back as possible on your chair, your feet on the floor, and keeping your knees at the same level or above your hips. We should keep our back straight, with our arms and elbows learning on the table. If you are in front of the computer screen, you should have it at 45 cm away from your eyes, and at your height, or slightly below it. |
