Sometimes spinal exercises are borning. If you are doing the exercises correctly, they should be challenging. I've had patients state that they want to watch TV while doing the spinal exercises. If you can watch TV or read a book while doing the exercises I've given you, then you're not doing them correctly.
I understand it's not the most exciting part of the day, but 3 minutes per day is all I'm asking you to do. If you do them, you'll have less pain. Less pain is NOT boring.
Work hard during the 3 minutes. Focus on contracting the correct muscles and try not to fall off the gym ball.
BTW: I don't like doing them either. They keep my spine from hurting, so I know they're necessary.
