Lower Back Workout With Exercise Ball

Video Transcript

Part of your core is your lower back and a lot of times if we are driving in cars, doing typing on a typewriter or texting our friends, we don't really work that part of our body but it is a really important part of your body for your stability, for your posture and for your core. So you want to take your ball, get comfortable again on the ball how it feels. You could actually put your feet against the wall for stability. You want to place both hands behind your head and the wider your feet are apart, the more stable your environment is. The closer your feet together, it is a little bit harder so if you want to have a wider base that is perfectly fine. Okay let's put our hands behind our head. We are going to lower our body down and exhale on the up, hold that back and we want to release it back down, raise up. I am going down close enough so that my head is still in its proper alignment but you actually just want to relax your body down over the ball. You don't want to completely relax your body, you still want to engage your core and engage your spine. So you want to release it up, release it down, contract it up. This is your extension. Because this is an area of your body that we typically don't work, we are going to do less sets. So beginners try 5 to 8, intermediate 8 to 10, more advanced try 10 to 15. Remember 3 is the magic number. You want to do at least 3 sets.
