5 Exercises to get rid of Lower Back Pain (+ glute/core strength)

5 Exercises that helped me get rid of my low back pain so I could get back to running! All exercises help with glute strength and stabilization. There were a few weeks where I couldn't even force a run if I had wanted to, but after a week of doing these exercises I was able to start running again. I'm NOT saying this will work for everyone as low back pain is caused by different reasons. I just wanted to share what worked for me in hopes that it may help someone else.

[@monikad5561]

Definitely going to try these! Thanks Sandi!

[@hcronos]

Thank you Sandy.

[@jacobkrupa5118]

Thank you

[@FrostElement]

Fantastic. Will give this a try. Please post more of these. Thank you.

[@joshuafagans7534]

Just want to say thank you for all of your great videos! I am a fairly new runner and have been getting a lot out of all of your exercise videos!

[@curtwarber6807]

These are great- thank you

[@markuscg1]

Thanks for the tips! Excellent timing as I’ve had lower back pain the past few days and haven’t been able to run.

[@thenickolau5542]

Thank You! I already have a legs routine, but those will find it's way into my daily practice!

[@matthewhewer9032]

This is all great advice! Thanks coach Sandi!👍

[@Opi395]

Thank you Sandy! Love the quote at the end too. Have you ever covered countering a lateral pelvic tilt and specific exercises to help engage the titled back or weaker side? Thanks again!

[@RussiasSufferingInUkraine]

Thanks so much for sharing this. These exercises are different to what's out there on the web, and in a good way. :) The fact that it worked for you, an elite ultra runner, is enough to recommend them. I shall use them as prehab. All the best with your glutes and lower back, and hope 2019 is an awesome year for you.

[@sadekx5251]

I had neglected signs of lower back pain until it was too late and started feeling my glutes were not firing while running. Then later got hit with Piriformis Syndrome. Now I am back to the basics and taking care of that part of the body that I'd taken it for granted.

[@lisamarklecreates]

This is so helpful, thank you Sandi! I've been watching your videos for a couple years and I love you and Sage. Do you ever have problems with your hips getting sore while running? Have you/will you make a video on that maybe?

[@gokiwi2642]

Thanks will give those exercises a go 👍

[@jmk3270]

Awesome, ty!

[@themindfulrunner1228]

Thanks Sandi. Another really helpful video. I sometimes suffer with lower back issues and glute problems so this will come in handy. I think if you sit down often on a laptop or work in an office it can lead to tight hip flexors meaning they shorten and the glutes don't fire properly leading to lower back issues.

[@sw45909]

I like the growth and fixed mindset quote!

[@johnbouttell5827]

Dear Sandi, I love your videos. Please remake: Running Form: 'Correct technique and tips to run faster.' Thank you.

[@sambsialia]

Great stuff. Thanks so much. I like also your Cycle cross training program. May I ask what your opinion is on accessory or substitute workouts with jump roping? Calisthenics, especially for core stabilization? If you already have a presentation that includes either of these topics, I apologize, but I have not yet seen all your vids.

[@irmantaslajus8650]

thank you

[@xplicit_tm3755]

Another great video Sandi, you make it look so easy but...yea....its going to take me a bit, tried them and about died...very little flexibility lol

[@Lion_McLionhead]

Need ideas for patellar tendinitis.

[@Unclewhistler007]

I have issues with my glutes not firing. Thanks!

[@krishnasmail]

I don't feel anything in my glutes or anywhere near it in the glute "push up". I am quite certain I am doing it exactly like how it is demonstrated.

[@tmnt3998]

what is in your library? beside running books and travel books.

[@triciaspence7664]

For the glute pushups, are you working both leg glutes? I seem to only feel the glute on the straightened leg.

[@TheShareeskee]

You make this look easier than it is 😂😂

[@papaGhurka]

Bike riding gets rid of my lower back pain very quickly.

[@series333]

wouldn't it be better to do these after a run or on the days you dont run? seems like you would want your glutes to have energy for the run. but I can see how doing maybe one of the exercises before the run could help them activate. I had lower back surgery and glute bridges have really helped my back get stronger and less pain. I do both legs holding for a minute. then I do one leg reps, and then hold 30 sec about 2 sets each leg then finish with both legs holding again for a min. also, can you or sage do a video on preventing MTSS. shin splints on the inside of the leg

[@bobsacamano4]

series333 I’ve found that landing on more of a flat foot under my center of gravity has helped me immensely for shin splints (I used to be a heel striker). If that isn’t working, try to be cognizant of how hard you are landing and rely more on the knees for cushioning rather than your shoes. I find these both help me a lot

[@allenp303]

OT but how do you cope with inhaling ice cold air on runs?

[@PhilMargolies]

How cold? If subzero °F, consider something like a windproof ski mask (balaklava).

[@kezza6921]

That was riveting

[@katjatschilschke]

What a cute yoga mate :-)

[@wms201]

they look like torture!

[@vinnysenn8746]

title makes it sound like you’re getting rid of glute strength 😂 great vid tho
