Are you sitting behind your desk all day and that causes you low back pain? We got it. Here are some of the best exercises to ease low back pain.
Partial crunches strengthen your back and stomach muscles. To do this exercise, lie down, knees bent and feet flat on the floor, arms crossed over your chest and hands behind your neck. As you raise your shoulders off the floor, think to breathe out.
You can also try hamstring stretches by lying on your back and bending one knee. Straighten your other leg and pull it towards your chest. If you cannot do so, loop a towel under the ball of your foot.
Wall sits are a classic but are really efficient for those back muscles. Lean back on the wall until your back is flat against the wall, knees slightly bent and hold.
Another one you could try is bridging. Lie on your back with knees bent, press your heels on the floor, and squeeze your butt cheeks as you lift your hips off the floor. Make sure your shoulders, hips and knees are perfectly aligned.
One of the best exercises to reinforce your back is press-up back extensions. It consists in lying on your stomach and placing your hands under your shoulders. Press your hands against the floor and lift your shoulders off.
