Seated Lower Back Stretch
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The seated lower back stretch is designed to improve flexibility and relieve tension in the lower back area. By reaching one arm overhead and the other behind the back, it effectively elongates the spine and targets the erector spinae muscles. This stretch is beneficial for those with tight lower back muscles from prolonged sitting or certain physical activities.
How to do it
- Sit on a bench with feet flat on the floor and back straight.
- Raise one arm straight overhead, aligning it with your ear.
- Place the other hand on the bench for support.
- Gently lean to the side of the supporting hand, feeling a stretch in the lower back.
- Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, then switch sides.
