Gentle Stretching of the Lower Back

Most people feel tightness in the lower back from time to time. For some the back is a constant source of problem and puts limitations on exercise. This short video (less than 2 minutes) is to give you some ideas for stretching your back early in a workout while you are warming up.

Keep the movements slow. You do not want the feet to have so much momentum that you could get carried into the pain zone.

Listen to your body and enjoy.

I think this is the first time I've mentioned stretching in my posts even though stretching is a core part of my exercise philosophy. I use an approach to stretching known as PNF with many of my clients.

Talking about PNF is for another day.The stretches in this video are not PNF.
