The lower back area is one of the most common sources for recurrent pain for people who exercise. If you don’t have a more serious back condition, any lower back pain is likely a result core weakness and poor posture. The muscles of the abdomen and lower back combine to hold your spine and pelvis in place, and it’s very important to develop these muscles for both fitness and long-term good health. These days almost everyone understands the importance of building up their core muscles, but they may not know that core weakness is often responsible for their back pain. Building your core muscles is not hard, and there are a variety of exercises that target these muscles. Get ready to do planks, squats, lunges and more.
