http://www.velocitysp.com | Sadly, some popular core strengthening moves might be making your body more susceptible to back injuries. The latest science in the performance training industry points to the following exercises (seen in this Performance Tip) that provide the right mix of strengthening for your core and back, and send BIG caution signs for those who are not cutting back on potentially harmful reps.
Ive been trying to convey to people for so long that this is the best way to strengthen the core. Good video, thanks!

Deadlifts are a great way to strengthen your lower back, same with squats.
Even the traditional prone "Superman" exercise is ok IF you're making sure not to hyperextend your back. The problems is that most athletes try to see how high off the floor they can get their outstretched limbs, instead of only raising them an inch and concentrating on activating their glutes with their low back.
Hope that helps!
