Do This EVERY Day | NO More Low Back Pain! (30 SECS)

If you suffer from occasional or even chronic low back pain, you are definitely going to want to watch this video. I’m going to show you a single exercise that you can do anywhere, every single day, that won’t take you more than 30 seconds to do and will help you to get rid of that low back pain forever. Understanding the selection of the exercise however requires a brief discussion of the reasons for your lower back pain in the first place.

In general, pain the low back can be categorized into one of two categories; neurogenic or muscular/joint related. The nerve related pain is almost always due to an issue with a lumbar disc or the nerve roots that exit the spine and travel to distant regions of the body. When you have nerve related pain it is always best to get examined by a doctor to confirm and then form a treatment plan specific to resolving the issue.
When the issue is muscular in nature however, or has had consequences on the joints of the low back because of the tight and weak muscles, then it is time to take matters into your own hands and do something about it.
The irony of low back pain is that most of the time the pain you feel is simply a symptom of a bigger issue somewhere else. For instance, the lower back should be a stable area of the body. The joints should provide very little movement in the form of rotation or side bending and the muscles should be capable of providing rigid, almost girder-like support, of this region.
This is usually the case however, when the muscles of the hips below get weak…they often look to the muscles of the low back to assist. This places a demand on the lumbar paraspinals that they are simply not equipped to handle. It is then that you are likely to experience tightness or spasm that provides the stability that was compromised but in a very unhealthy and unpleasant way.
Likewise, when the hips do not maintain the mobility they need given their ball and socket structure, then the low back is often the area that is asked to pitch in and lend mobility. As discussed earlier, this is a problem since this area of the body is designed to be stable. The key to changing the course of your low back pain is learning how and how often to intervene before any of this happens.
This is where the reverse hyperextension exercise comes in. This is incredibly powerful because it is driven from the ground up as the kinetic chain desires. The glutes are the muscles that drive the low back instead of the other way around. Additionally, this is an exercise that can be done virtually anywhere that you can lay down and let your feet hang off the edge. I show it on a bench, a glute ham raise and even reference how you can easily do this on your bed each morning.
The key is initiating the contraction in the glutes as opposed to trying to lift the legs with your low back. While the hyperextension is another great way to strengthen the lower back, it is one that is likely to be more difficult (especially for those suffering from lower back pain or weakness at the moment) and less likely to be able to be performed without modifications.
Try this once or twice a day, aiming for 10-12 high quality repetitions. Don’t worry about racking up more and more reps here. The key is that you only do ones that you can control and be sure you are initiating the right way with the glutes rather than the low back muscles.
If you find this helpful, please do me a favor and share it with a friend. If you are looking for a complete workout program that never overlooks the importance of the smaller exercises or movements and builds them in seamlessly to the heavier training you do to build muscle and develop a powerful athletic physique, head to athleanx.com at the link below and get the program that best matches your goals.

Single greatest exercise I've found when it comes to chronic low back pain / tightness. Have had low back pain for about 3 years which was really beginning to bug me when at my desk or driving. Experienced 2 bad spasms which had me out of commission for a couple of weeks each time. I've tried physios, massages, lots of different routines from youtube but this one exercise has had the greatest impact on my wellbeing of everything I've tried. I no longer dread long drives, or wake up with a back and hips feeling awful. The day after I tried a few sets of reverse hypers I immediately noticed a reduction in my back discomfort and a big improvement in my ability to sit still in a car for 1 hour plus. Even the feeling of tightness which I had put down to shortened muscles is improving too. The whole problem was a weak low back and this is the cure. Thank you Jeff. You may well have saved my life.

Okay, here it goes. Hopefully it helps some of you guys.... Twelve years back i broke my back. Tried a lot of stuff, but could never really manage to recover from it fully. Erly last year, i got hospitalized again due to a spasm. Couldn't move for a week. Finally with some physio i got back on my feet. I was asked to do back strengthening exercises along with glutes and core muscles. This was one of the exercises recommended by the physio. I was doing it at home initially cuz i couldn't hit the gym for a while. It made HELL a lot of difference. For someone like me, who carried this pain for a long time, I even forgot that I had broken my back 10 years ago. A big shout out to AthleanX for recommending this exercise. It is part of my normal warm up routine every day at the gym and i suggest no one miss it ever. It just takes 2 mins for 2 sets. Makes a world of difference!!!

If squats are giving you back pain, it sounds like youre not squeezing your ass enough at the top.

what do you mean your back was tight? if your back was tight you need to work your lower abs by curling your pelvic up and squeezing with your glutes as hard as possible. this video is for people with weak lower back, not tight lower back. tight lower back means it's overworked and u need to flex your spine some more. this video is for people with tight lower abs causing them to go posterior tilt when squatting. this video helps them to extend and curve their lumbar spine. if your lower back is tight you need to stretch it by flexing your pelvic and lower spine in front of you and up.

Was having chronic groin area pain until you showed hazard of placing knee on a bench when performing a bent over dumbbell row. Now I do them w/o knee on bench, both feet planted - no more pain! Having had five shoulder surgeries due to impenishments to both shoulders and resultant rotator cuff fraying, you advice on variations to benchpresses, overhead presses and dips has also saved me from a developing problem. Yeah face pulls, etc.!!! The exercises for lower back pain were also extremely beneficial. Because of your invaluable advice, I am pain free, getting stronger and more buff than ever before as a natural trainer. Cannot thank you enough Jeff!!! Happy training - William!

[@inira7418]

What was that exercise for groin pain you did?

[@melaniesunshine1951]

This right here is the video I have been searching for for months. My lower back kills me (mostly from work) and I KNEW I needed to strengthen it but didn't know how until just now. And I just bought a bench like the one you used in the video. I'm looking forward to doing these daily. Thank God I found this channel and this video.

This video changed my life and I'm forever grateful to you! I had extreme pain every single morning for 2 years that made it nearly impossible to get out of bed in the morning. After an hour, it would fade and by the afternoon it was gone. It made it so I didn't want to sleep anymore because I knew I'd wake up in pain. Doing these exercises 3x per day (over a large exercise ball and holding onto the bottom of my couch) and my pain is gone completely! I saw results after literally 1 day. I can't thank you enough!!!

Jeff… I've had 2 lumbar microdiscectomy surgeries for an L5 S1 herniation that put pressure on my sciatic nerve and caused unbearable pain. I wasn't even 40 yet. I am now almost 41, still have some low back pain and nerve issues due to the 2nd herniated disc. I have to say, I have been at my wits' end not knowing what to do to get rid of this pain - not to mention the psychological trauma from having a repeat surgery and fearing even worse later down the line. Your videos, especially this one, have given me hope and I am already feeling a difference just from 1 or 2 times of performing these types of exercises. Keep up the good work, and God-bless!

My lower back pain immediately decreased substantially after one set. I will be doing this every day at least twice a day now. Thank you, you badass sir. Update: 5 days in and I no longer have back pain. I had back pain from lying down to sleep and it is gone. I do around 4 sets of 10 a day. Update: 6 months no back pain when doing anything. I do a set of 12 every morning and a set of 12 after I lift. You'll notice I do a lot less than when I first started. It is just maintenance at this point.

Thank you Jeff. I dont comment much on videos but I just owe you a big thank you. Been watching and implementing your videos on lower back pain, posture correction, etc these past few days. I am 27 and always a very active person and train very hard( but not smart). recently the injuries and lack of balance in my training have finally caught up to me. I consistently bounced back and forth between lower back issue, hip flexor issue, and knee issues. Every time I face one of these issue I thought stretching and rest is key but I just put it off for a bit. Through your videos I finally realize its my goddamn lack of strength in my core, lower back, back, and glutes. I seriously can't believe how fast my lower back pain and knee pain went away when I started training my lower back and glutes, it's only been a week and the pain is already gone. Anyways, thank you so much man for making these kind of videos for free. You are legit brother
