Strengthening Your Lower Back June 21, 2021 by Roger Stanmore MD, JD (Edit)

For a body to move comfortably, different muscles have to move as well. It is significant for the muscles to function well, for they play a vital role in the body. Sometimes it is painful and difficult to move when the lower back part is not okay. Thus, one should ensure their lower back is working well. For positive results, it is necessary to strengthen the lower back using effective measures. Below are essential exercises to strengthen the lower back.

Swimmers One can start with swimmers’ exercises. With the swimmer’s exercise, one should lay on their stomach and extend their hands to stretch their body. From here, they should lift their shoulders and legs off the floor then paddle the legs and arms just as you would when swimming. These exercises should take about 30 to 40 seconds.

Back extensions Another great exercise for strengthening your lower back is back extensions. To do these, lay on your stomach as you extend your arms in front. From here, you must lift your shoulders and upper chest from the floor. It is important to repeat these exercises 20 times to get the right results. rogerstanmoremdjd.com/strengthening-your-lower-back/

When doing the back extensions, it is vital not to be too hard on your body in order to avoid excess pressure on your lower back

Cat-cows Cat-cows are also effective lower back exercises to strengthen your lower back. With this exercise, put your knees and hands in a four-point hold position. After doing this, you’ll need to take a deep breath as you open up your chest. From here, you should roll back your shoulders as you arch your back, which should leave you in a cow-like position. Once you’re through, you should breathe out slowly, curve your spine up and bring your stomach in. From this point, you should easily stretch your hands and knees to the floor.

Final thoughts Doing the above exercises in moderation is extremely important. Having the time and ability to strengthen the lower back is crucial for good posture. These exercises will also help you prevent certain injuries and maintain good health. Practice makes perfect, and these small actions will bring a difference in your body movements.
