Lower Back Exercises

Exercises with your lower back as the primary target:

• Glute Squeeze

  This is simple enough that you can do it while sunbathing, yet it is highly effective and non-strenuous on your knees.

• Lateral Lunges Off Step

  The step offers height to make your hip muscles work harder in the lunge.

• Lateral Lunges With Spiral

  Adding a twist to the lunge works your back muscles in a different way.

• Sumo Dead Lift

  This is similar to a dead lift but is executed with your feet further apart.

Exercises with your lower back as a contributor:

• Kneeling Glute Press

  This strengthens your glutes and isolates the inner thigh as well.

• Lateral Lunges

  This exercise strengthens the outer thigh as well as the outer ankle.

• Sitting Knee Lifts

  This is a great exercise for anyone who wants to strengthen their abs, back, and balance without having to lean forward.
