please help me😢. I have been suffering from lower back pain since 5 months. Please listen to my story I will be so grateful 😢. I am a football player and 5 months ago i pulled my left lower back muscles... after that it feels like the pull recovered but the pain in si join and muscles around it didn't go. We tried every possible exercise ,medicines and checked xray and mri and found nothing helpful and found that I have a herinated disc and Some si joint problem . I also have lumbar lordosis problem... Please tell me a solution 😢😢

Heyy any updates??

[@Lexielimey]

I'm doing these for the first time along with you to learn this routine and I cannot express exactly how I'm feeling. Everything suddenly makes sense; I can feel muscles firing that I haven't felt at all. I do core routines and never feel the burn everyone else comments to say they have afterwards. I can never feel my glutes engaged no matter how hard I try. I can see the change in muscle tone and size, but never feel them engaged. I can feel my lower back flatten against the floor, and that modified plank? All the work I've been doing on my core, I can actually feel those muscles working for the first time. Like, actually sore. They're doing their job. This is fixing a problem I didn't realize was so bad. I thought I was just like this bc I'm really flexible. I found this video bc I wanted to fix my hollow body hold, but now I see the problem is so much bigger than a single move I can't do. It's all connected. Fix one, fix all. Thank you 💚

[@thatguywitharchedback]

Now I am gonna start this today. Unlike that other guy, I will share pics in this account everyday and let you all know if it's working. 13 December 2024, here we go 🔥

[@ekuaaddison7750]

Thank you so much Jared for this video! You're God sent! I bought your Mommy Tummy Fix program a while ago to heal my diastasis recti and have done the exercises up to phase 6 but due to having a severe anterior pelvic tilt, which I've had my whole life, it's been very challenging to do the exercises in phase 6 as I'm unable to keep my back flat to the ground and also experience a lot of pain in my lower back when trying to do the exercises. So thank you again so much for addressing this issue! Can't wait to implement the exercises from this video to correct my anterior pelvic tilt and hence do the phase 6 exercises from the Mommy Tummy Fix program more effectively!

[@toneandtighten]

Oh, this is wonderful! I am so glad you are finding the MTF program so effective and I hope fixing your posture helps you see even better results!

[@desireechoate7583]

I’ve realized now my low back curve is a problem that I created on myself. I’m actually very active but starting from a young age I met this woman who for some reason instilled in my brain that a curved lower back is attractive. So I been purposely arching my back for “attractiveness” for so about 15 years now. And now it affects everything I do. I think push-ups are the most painful because of this. Now after seeing x-rays of my skeleton and other things wrong with it, I now realize how important a neutral lower back is. I can’t thank you enough for these videos. I’m excited to fix my whole posture from the pelvis up! Thank you so much!

[@toneandtighten]

Will these exercises help with forward head & shoulder posture

[@tomo_385]

I noticed the curve in my lower back and thought it was because I was still growing and skinny. While I was training for athletics, my glutes and hamstrings were getting tight. Even when I wasn't running my hamstrings felt awkwardly tight but I had no pain throughout my back and body. I study Health and PE at school and thought maybe these were connected to each other. I then decided to fix my problems after I was leaning over to pick up stuff and my lower back would hurt a bit. This video was really helpful! The part about hip flexors and pelvis explained my situation completely! I'm going to do these exercises every day along with my shoulder exercises to fix my posture and probably stretch/strengthen muscles more before and after working out. I hope to see results!

Thanks for this, it is helping immediately. I have one thought that i have heard and that is 13 breaths vs 20 seconds. I am a learner here, not a pro...... 13 seconds gives one 13 muscle contractions and releases whereas 20 seconds can be as low as zero breaths when one holds their breath ( as i did many times ). With OTHER exercises 13 seconds helps me more.

[@exclusivemmafights8072]

I’m 29 years old, and I’ve been diagnosed with lordosis (excessive lower back curve). My doctor told me that since my bones are fully grown, it’s unlikely that the curve can be completely fixed. However, I’ve been doing exercises and stretches but still wonder if it’s possible to fully restore a normal back alignment as an adult. Has anyone here managed to fix their lordosis completely as a grown adult? If so, what worked for you? I’d love to hear your experiences or advice. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for all your content. I've been using some of your vids in the last month and it really helps :) I do have sone questions after watching this vid and others before: 1) You talk about having a good posture in the back. I understand the need to strengthen relevant muscles but during the day when I'm walking/sitting going by my own business should I also try to actively engage the lower abs to straight my back and not have that bad "hole" between my butt and my back where my back leans forward? (which seems to be default position unless I engage my core 2. You explained bridges is used to strengthen glutes and also you should squeeze them during the exercise. I'm also pretty sure I saw in other vids from earlier days you explained bridges is for the core muscles in the back. I'm a bit confused about this. When I do bridges I do feel the glutes but I feel nothing for the core/stomach/back area. If indeed bridges is mostly for the glutes is there anything I can/should do back side of the core?

I noticed you had another video 5 years ago, would the exercises from this video be good enough? Or should I incorporate your other video into my plan?

[@STBRetired1]

At 80, my posterior chain (backside) is so tight that I can pull a back muscle just by standing when I pee. As soon as I slightly lean forward to see what I'm doing, I feel that "slip" in my back as I overstretch some back muscles and for days afterwards my back tends to go into spasms. As I experiment with various stretches and exercises, I noticed that I can do situps okay from flat on the floor if I warm-up carefully. But from that same position flat on my back and raising my knees to my chest - ouch. I guess that moves/tilts the pelvis more than what is allowed in situps. But your video is Golden with great advice and I will be incorporating your routine into my activities. Thanks for posting.

@@tjr930 Stretches are good up to a point. What needs to be done is exercise or activities on a daily basis. I always thought that my legs were in good shape. I used to squat down to parallel (or close to it). But then I started reading about the benefits of ATG (Ass To Grass) squats. So, I gave it a try. I put an empty 15 lb bar across my shoulders and squatted ALL the way down. Then I couldn't get up. 15 lbs. So I started a program to correct that major flaw by holding a light dumbbell in my hands and squatting down - after I had thoroughly warmed up my lower back, of course. The strength in my lower back is coming back as my back muscles learn to stretch out. I also bought a treadmill and noticed at first that really impacted my lower back. But now I'm returning to normal - gradually but steadily. At least I'm not getting those horrible back spasms anymore.
