A member asked:
Can push ups damage my lower spine over time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Anything in excess can be deleterious...Get a check-up with your doc before and during exercise and diet programs. Use common sense....If it hurts...It is your body's way of telling you something...Get it checked-out.
