This is an exercise for a stable spine. It is proven in research that the transverse abdominal muscle (ring shape- the deeper of the abdominal muscles ) is usually not firing in back pain patients, yet pain can be developed if the spine is not stable interfering with normal back biomechanics. If you do not have lower back pain, you can use this exercise for prevention.
