Fitness Expert Says Cobra Is Dangerous With Hernias And Pinches
Fitness expert Svetlana Butova spoke about the dangers of performing the popular Cobra exercise. Her words are quoted by Sport-Express.
The specialist noted that this movement should not be performed in the presence of a hernia, pinching, displacement of the intervertebral discs, as well as any inflammatory processes in the back muscles. This exercise is not suitable for those who suffer from high blood pressure and hyperthyroidism, as well as girls during pregnancy or menstruation.
“If there are no obvious contraindications to the pose, but pain appears during execution, you should “get out” of it. Perhaps in this way the body signals about any problems, ”Butova warned.
