Low Back Pain Exercises - The 3 Simplest Exercises You Can Do at Home to Relieve Low Back Pain

How many times have you woke up in the morning, got out of bed, immediately grabbed your low back? Once again you wake with that same ole' pain in your back that never seems to go away. I bet you're probably getting tired of tired and extremely fed up with that constant nagging ache.

Well I've got some news to help provide you with some relief. In many cases, low back pain actually stems from weak low back muscles and an imbalanced core. Performing some simple low back pain exercises will help to alleviate that pain by making those muscles stronger and balancing out your back and core strength.
So you're saying that's great news, but...I don't belong to a gym. No worries because you can perform these exercises for low back pain in the comfort of your own home. And if any equipment is necessary, you can simply use items you have around the house.

Here are the exercises that will start bringing you some relief.

1. Romanian Deadlift - With this exercise you can start with no weight and then build up the resistance from there using can food, 1 gallon water jugs, or even sand bags...depending on how "adventurous" you want to get.

Stand with your feet together, whatever you're using for weights in your hands, and legs straight. Inhale and bend at the waist keeping the back straight. Keep your eyes forward until you just barely get ready to touch the floor then lower your head. Exhale and lift back up remembering that both the back stay straight and use your ab muscles by tightening them to form and "ab brace" to help support the lower back.
2. Superman - This exercise gets its name from the appearance of the move itself. In this exercise lie flat on the ground facing down. (You may want a mat or towel for this.) With both of your arms and legs extended, exhale and raise both arms and legs off of the ground. Both the arms and legs stay extended in a straight line and what is being lifted are the chest and thighs. Hold your arms and legs up off the ground for 20 seconds and then lower them. Repeat this move 3 times.

3. Back Raise - A stability ball would be an excellent option for this move if you have one. If you don't then you can use your couch, chair, or whatever other furniture might work. (For the sake of consistency, the explanation for the exercise here will be based on using a stability ball.)

Find a wall or something to brace your feet against. With the ball in front of you, lie on top of the ball as if you were hugging it. The ball should be under you so that your knees are almost to the floor, and the ball is under your hips. Place your hands behind your head, exhale and lift your upper body up off of the ball. Raise up to a full extension almost to a point where you're upper body is in a straight line with your lower body. Inhale and then lower your body back onto the ball.
