🔓 3 Exercises to Unlock Your Lower Back Mobility

3 Exercises to Unlock Your Lower Back Mobility

When you sit all day, your spine gets compressed, your muscles tighten, and your body adapts to that rounded posture.

Here’s 3 exercises we’re loving to help with that:

1️⃣ Loaded Beast to Downward Dog

• Lengthens tight lower back muscles from prolonged sitting

• Releases tension in your posterior chain (back, glutes, hamstrings)

• Restores the natural S-curve of your spine

2️⃣ Jefferson Curl

• Decompresses your stiff spinal discs from hours of sitting

• Retrains your brain to move each vertebra independently

• Counteracts that rounded-back desk posture

3️⃣ Beast to Loaded Beast

• Wakes up your core muscles that “fall asleep” during sitting

• Restores natural spinal movement patterns

• Teaches your body to maintain stability while moving

Aim to do each movement for 10 reps.

A gray infographic titled "HIP AND BACK RELEASE" displays 12 illustrated stretches for hip and back mobility. Each stretch, including Spinal Rotation, Butterfly Sit, Cat & Cow Pose, Downdog, Deep Lunge, Lizard Lunge, Cobra Stretch, Pigeon Pose, Frog Stretch, Camel Pose, Supine Spinal Twist, and Happy Baby, is shown with a black silhouette of a person performing it and its name. Instructions advise completing 3-5 deep breaths for each stretch, and a disclaimer about consulting a physician is at the bottom.
Hip and back stretches.
Here a visual I found when trying to stretch. I’ve been a lot less active the last few years. So when I got back into working out I could see the lack of mobility I had and it sucks. Better mobility makes working out so much easier. I’ve been doing these stretches before working on my side gl
