Description: the right way to get a strong lower back 4 exercises Many of us have thought to ourselves, “My lower back is so weak” when we’ve been suffering from lower back aches and pains. We feel it during ab movements or deadlifts and think that we feel it because we need to strengthen it. But what if the problem isn’t that your lower back is weak? What if the issue is that it’s actually OVERWORKED? This is all too often the case when it comes to our lower back. The muscles there become overworked due to our daily postures which have created mobility restrictions and underactive abs and glutes. So all of that strengthening you’re trying to do, all of those supermens you’re doing, may actually be perpetuating the issues making them worse instead of better. Instead, you may need to be working on your hip and thoracic mobility while activating your abs and glutes to protect your lower back from being overloaded. Remember the point of pain isn’t always where the problem started. And feeling the muscle work during a move may not be because it is weak. Instead, it may be working when it shouldn’t and become overloaded. So if you’ve been feeling your lower back during moves and thought, “I need to strengthen it,” try including these 4 moves in your warm-up routine instead! And stop overworking your already overloaded lower back more! 00:00 - "My Lower Back Is So Weak" 00:25 - Why Strengthening Might Make Things Worse 01:09 - Exercise #1 02:38 - Exercise #2 04:30 - Exercise #3 06:52 - Exercise #4
