Here are some effective lower back exercises that you can do with a resistance band:
-
Superman: Lie on your stomach with the resistance band around your feet. Keeping your arms and legs straight, raise your arms, legs, and chest off the ground, then lower them back down. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
-
Good Mornings: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and the resistance band around your waist. Keeping your back straight, bend forward at the hips, then stand back up. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
-
Bridging: Lie on your back with the resistance band around your legs, just above your knees. Keeping your arms on the ground, lift your hips towards the ceiling, then lower them back down. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
-
Hyperextensions: Lie on your stomach with the resistance band around your ankles. Keeping your arms and legs straight, raise your chest and legs off the ground, then lower them back down. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
Remember to use proper form, engage your lower back muscles, and breathe deeply as you perform each exercise. Start with a low resistance band and gradually increase the resistance as you get stronger. Incorporate these exercises into your workout routine to target your lower back and build overall core strength.
