5) Core Stability Exercises
Everyone can benefit from a little core stability work. These exercises are ideal for not only strengthening and reducing your gut, but for keeping your back healthy.
Movements that focus on the core are often used in rehabilitation programs for people who have suffered from lower back pain and problems. These exercises, like crunches, lower back raises, or planks, for example, are perfect on their own or as part of a larger exercise routine.
Princeton University’s Health Services has an entire program designed to help people who want to reverse or prevent lower back pain. It’s divided into flexibility and strengthening exercises so you can choose the area that you need to focus on the most.
