Low Back Project - Thursday, February 11th

Written By Drew Jamison

Today you are going to open up the hips a bit. You are working on hip extension which is typically one of the most restricted ranges in the hips. There is a strong correlation between decreased hip extension and low back pain. Loss of hip extension results in the low back compensating by taking loads through hyperextending.

Todays work will consist of….

  • Warmup

    • Squat to pike - 10 reps

    • Elephant Walk - 15 reps (per leg)

    • Front Kicks - 10 reps

    • Side Kicks - 10 reps

  • Couch Stretch - 3 sets of 30 seconds

  • Long Lunge Pulse - 3 sets of 5 with a 5 second hold
