[wp_ad_camp_1]

Pain in the Lower back at least once in a lifetime was experienced by every adult. Let’s look at the cause of the pain, what exercises for the lower back should be done to make it healthy and strong, how to pump up the lower back.

About strengthening the lower back muscles

The lower muscles soften or absorb the compression load on the spinal column. It is logical that strengthening the muscles of the lower back will allow them to better perform their function. The roots of the spinal cord, leaving the spine, will not be infringed (that is, there will be no backache and pain during bending, walking).

Entry-level Lumbar Exercises

Next, we will talk about exercises for the lower back and how to pump up the muscles of the lower back. In addition, we will talk about the press and its role in eliminating back pain.

When your lower back hurts, you need a special workout. And you don’t need a gym now.

Strengthen the Abdominal

You say – what does the abs have to do with it, if your back hurts? We recall the topic of muscle antagonists. If you swing only the back, your lower back will be bent backward. And so – there will be uniform support from all sides. That is, in order for the support of the spine to be optimal, the muscles must be strengthened on all sides of the body.

Before starting classes, inflammation should be removed. While you feel sharp pain, we'r not recommend workout in the gym.
