In celebration of #backfriday here are a few simple exercises to help you build a strong, healthy back, improve posture, help prevent injury and perform better in the sport of life! BRIDGE: Works the Gluteus Maximus aka Booty Muscles Building strong glute muscles (aka booty muscles) will not only give you a better looking booty, but it is key to improving function in everyday activities such as walking and squatting. In addition, strong glutes can help alleviate low back pai...n, hip and knee pain, improve posture and help prevent osteoporosis. Here’s How 1. Lie on the ground with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. 2. With your hands by your sides, press your feet into the floor as you slowly raise your hips up and lift your buttocks off the ground until your body is in one straight line. Keep your shoulders on the floor. Squeeze the glutei and hold for 10 to 15 seconds. 3. Lower down. 4. Repeat 2-3 times. Resting as needed in between DRAWING- IN MANEUVER: Works the Transverse Abdominis Muscles The transverse abdominis muscle wraps around the midline. It helps support the spine and abdomen. It’s important for stabilizing the spinal joints and preventing injury during movement. Here’s How 1. Lie on the ground with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. 2. Relax your hands by your sides. 3. Take a deep breath in. Exhale and pull your belly button in toward your spine, engaging your abdominal muscles without tilting your hips. 4. Hold for 5 seconds. Repeat 2-3 times SUPERMANS: Works the back, buttocks and hips, shoulders Your back extensors run along your spine. They help you maintain an upright position, support your spine and pelvic bones, and allow you to arch your back. Here’s How 1. Lie on your stomach with your arms extended straight out in front of you and your legs long. 2. Raise your arms, legs and chest off the ground all at once. Hold for 2-3 seconds while focusing on pulling your belly button into your spine and squeezing the glutes. 3. Return to starting position. Repeat 2-3 times Note: If any of these exercises makes your back pain worse, stop doing it and contact us to rule out something more serious.
