Great routine for people who sit at desks. 5 minutes to feel stronger & pain free. Cat Cows increases the flexibility of the neck, shoulders and spine while stretching the muscles of the hips, back, abdomen and chest. Bird Dogs promote proper posture, improves stability, relieves low back pain and encourages a neutral spine while strengthening your core, hips and back. The McGill Crunch activates your core while keeping your lower back in a natural arched position. This minimizes stress on the spine while increasing endurance in your ab muscles and can relieve low back pain. Side planks work the obliques, which are one of the most underrated muscles in your body. They also strengthening your glutes, hips, and shoulders. Glute bridge holds work your glutes, hamstrings and lower back without putting pressure on your spine. When doing the core exercises make sure to BRACE your stomach as if Mike Tyson were to punch you in the stomach. This activates your core. When doing the full body or glute exercises make sure to squeeze your glutes as if you're trying to crush a quarter in your butthole. Do 6 reps of each exercise with slow and controlled movements while mentally activating your muscles. Try it out between desk sessions & let me know how it went.

If you want to create a healthy low back, do this: Bird dogs help spinal stability. McGill crunches improves core stability. Side planks strengthens the obliques and hips. Hip thrusts strengthen your glutes. Pair these with walking and your low back will thank you.

I do these 3 exercises religiously for my lower back. They’re called the McGill Big 3 and they consist of: 1. The McGill Crunch 2. Side plank holds 3. Focused & Activated Bird Dogs They build endurance in the lower back & core while increasing core stability. The key is to brace the core (aka. push it out) while keeping your spine & hips in a neutral position. I do these before my workouts as they help activate the core prior to lifting. I do 1 set of 6-12 repetitions. Do these 3-4 days a week for 3 weeks to notice a difference.

If your thighs are weaker than your butt you'll feel the burn in them more than you do in your butt. This is one of the most common reasons people do glute exercise after glute exercise and still feel like their butt isn't growing. Bringing your quad and hamstring strength up to match your glutes changes everything about how effectively you can actually target and grow them. Follow for the training tips that help you actually feel your glutes working 🍑

These 4 moves solved 95% of my lower back problems. 1) Bird dogs teach your spine to stay stable as your limbs move. 2) McGill crunches teach your abs to brace without spinal flexion. 3) Side planks strengthen the obliques needed for lateral stress. 4) Hip thrusts wake up and strengthen the glutes. Do 10-15 reps every day for 21 days and thank me later.

This exercise should be mandatory if you sit at a desk. It's called a Glute Bridge Hold. Here's why you need to do this: Your glutes should be one of the strongest muscles in your body. But due to desk jobs & long periods of sitting they get weaker. This puts more pressure on the lower back to support the body causing low back pain. When you sit for hours on end you put pressure on your glute muscles. This keeps them in a lengthened position & tightens the hip flexors making the glutes less likely to fire properly. A simple set of 12-15 reps before or after sitting down can be enough to "wake up" your glutes so they stay activated. Make sure to focus on your butt muscles squeezing at the top of the movement. Remember that humans were not meant to sit at a desk for 8 hours a day. This exercise will help reverse the effects. You might even feel some relief in your low back as a result of doing it.

Stop training your core like your spine is disposable. Crunches and sit-ups get all the attention, but they repeatedly flex the lumbar spine under load — not ideal if your back is sensitive. Side planks are different. They train your core to do what it’s actually built to do: 1. resist unwanted movement 2. stabilize your spine 3. support your pelvis 4. strengthen your obliques and quadratus lumborum 5. activate your glute medius 6. improve balance and postural control And they do all of this with minimal spinal flexion. That makes them a more spine-sparing option for many people compared with traditional crunches. The best part? You can scale them easily. 1. Start with knees bent. 2. Hold for 10–20 seconds. 3. Keep your ribs stacked over your pelvis. 4. Breathe. 5. Progress only when you can hold clean form. Your core is not just for looking strong. It’s for keeping your spine, hips, and pelvis working together. CTA: Try 2–3 short side plank holds per side today and notice which side feels weaker.

Never stretch your lower back until you understand this principle. The root of your lower back pain is in your hip and your thoracic spine...not your lower back. So instead of stretching your lower back, do these two exercises to fix the root cause of your lower back pain without stretching. This will help release the tension in your lower back than any other exercise you ever tried before.

"Leg raises are the best ab exercise!" Leg raises are a hip flexor exercise that happens to involve your abs as stabilizers. Your abs don't create the movement. Your iliopsoas does. The abs are just trying to prevent your lower back from hyperextending while your hip flexors do all the actual work. Want proof? Do leg raises until failure. Then try to do a crunch. Your abs are fine. Your hip flexors are cooked. That burning sensation in your lower abs? That's your hip flexors screaming, not your abs growing. If you want to actually train abs, do movements where the abs are the prime mover: Like crunches.

The exercise that changed my life: The low back extension. I used to deal with chronic low back pain in my 20s and 30s. Part of my protocol was using the McGill Big 3 (bird dog, McGill Crunch, side planks) to strengthen the supportive muscles around the low back. I then used the back extension to strengthen the hips, glutes, and low back. Just a word of warning: Overextending your low back on this machine will make things worse. Activate from the hips and glutes and don't go past activation. 2-3 sets of 6-10 reps are enough to keep my low back strong, healthy, and pain free.

This stretch should be mandatory for people who sit at desks. It's called a T-Spine Extension. As we get older or if we sit for long periods of time our thoracic spine becomes less mobile. This can cause neck, shoulder, and lower back pain as well as a hunched over croissant type of posture with the body. The T-spine extension helps you stretch your lats and upper back to reverse age or sitting related mobility issues. How to do it: 1. Make sure you're in full elbow flexion in the bottom position. 2. Make a double chin so that you don't drift into forward head posture. 3. As you rock back, brace your core and focus on extending through the upper back and flexing through the shoulders, rather than just arching the lower back. Do this for 6-12 reps daily. Your back will thank you.

This exercise straightens our postures like no other. T3 Raises will pull your shoulder blades down naturally and give your upper back some much-needed support. I've never met somebody with pain or posture problems who could easily lift a weight above the ear. 🎯Twice a week Form: - One leg is forward, the same side as the arm holding the weight. - Keep your back straight by pushing your hips back and arching your back. - Hold your working arm at 90 degrees relative to your torso. - Slide your shoulder blade toward your spine. - Lift your arm above your ear. - Lower back to the 90-degree position, and repeat. Watch out for: - Rounding your back. - Sliding your shoulder blade up toward your neck instead of back toward your spine as compensation for weak rhomboids. - Bending your elbow when you lift as compensation for weak lower traps. - Not lifting the weight above your ear as many lack the strength and mobility to do so. Film yourself if you're not sure. // I learned this exercise from the great strength coach Charles Poliquin in 2010, and it's been a game changer for my clients and me ever since. Do your T3 Raises every week, and watch how your posture changes before your eyes.
