best low back exercise

Birddog Exercise (Intermediate version)
This is my favourite and probably the best low back exercise you can do. I wanted to share this next progression of the basic exercise with you. I have many more low back pain exercises posted on my website (www.kitchener-chiropractor.com)


The Birddog exercise is essential for activating the muscles of the low back without putting too much stress on the spine.

To perform the birddog exercise start on your hands and knees in the quadruped position. To importance to maintain your abdominal brace throughout (flex your abs like your going to get punched).

Slowly extend your leg backwards ANd your arm forwards while maintaining the brace and keeping your back flat. Hold for 5 seconds and then switch sides.


KEYS TO THE EXERCISE:
- hold the position for 5 seconds
- keep the low back flat
- squeeze your abs throughout the exercise
