Doing an exercise for lower back strength everyday can really make a difference in your overall strength while reducing pain that you may have. When your core muscles are strong your body has the support it needs to build larger muscles throughout. Many people tend to over strengthen the abdominal muscles and neglect the lower back. This can cause a muscular imbalance which often leads to injury. I have designed this workout to include at least one great exercise for lower back strength every day.
