Walking more than 10,000 steps a day is not very beneficial to lumbar disc herniation, and moderate exercise is recommended. The cause of lumbar disc herniation is related to the degeneration of the lumbar disc and the strain. Walking more than 10,000 steps a day is considered a large amount of exercise, which may aggravate the strain and make the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation more serious. Patients with lumbar disc herniation can walk moderately, but they should pay attention to hold their chests up and not hunch their backs when walking to avoid strengthening the lumbar weight. If patients want to do some exercise, they can properly do exercises such as Swallow Fly to strengthen the muscles of the lower back, and they can also do some gentle exercises such as yoga, Pilates or Tai Chi to improve the function of the lower back. Suffering from lumbar disc herniation, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s advice to exercise in moderation, exercise in a gradual manner, pay attention to local warmth.
