Some people have asked me, “Out of all the exercises in the video, if I had time to do just one, what should I do?”
Now before I jump into my response, let me add this disclaimer. Everyone is different. There are different reasons for sciatica pain. That’s why we have the self assessment portion of our program. So to answer this question, I’m forced to generalize. Just wanted to point that out.
But generally speaking, a majority of people have one type of disorder which causes sciatic nerve pain. We call it Downward Pointing Pelvis (DPP). And there are relatively stronger muscles that overpower the relatively weaker muscles. From my own experiences, and the experiences of thousands of others, the best type of exercise you can do is…
The Butt Lift! This butt lift is an intense lower stomach exercise that is in our video. We like the butt lift because, generally speaking, we don’t use our lower abs as much as we should. So they have become weak over time. This Butt Lift is a great lower stomach exercise that will make you really feel the burn.
To perform the Butt Lift: lay on your back, bring your knees into your chest as much as you can. Use your lower abs to life your butt off the ground. If you want a good workout, do 3 sets of 15 reps. Trust me, you’ll feel the burn.
If you are in pain and had time to do only one exercise, do this one just before you go to bed at night, and stick with it for a few nights in a row. I almost guarantee that your pain will go away in just a few days. Now if you can continue doing this one exercise, you’ll be that much closer to completely solving you sciatic nerve pain in the long term!
