Struggling with lower back pain? Or need a solid warm up? Try these 5 banded exercises that can be done anywhere.
Weak or imbalanced hip muscles are one of the most common contributors to lower back pain. When your glutes, abductors, and deep hip stabilizers aren’t pulling their weight, your lower back often takes on the extra load, especially during big lifts like squats, deadlifts, and lunges.
Don’t stop the heavy compound lifts, they’re essential for full-body strength. But it’s just as important to include targeted, low-load movements like these to improve muscle activation, joint stability, and overall movement balance.
As a new dad who loves hiking with my baby strapped in, I’ve learned firsthand that strong, stable hips aren’t optional — they’re a game-changer for moving well and staying pain-free.
-> Try these out:
Perform 2–3 sets of 12–15 reps per exercise, 2–3x/week. Focus on slow, controlled movement and full range of motion.
