You can almost expect to experience Low Back Pain at some point in your life. Weather you pick up  something the wrong way, overtrain, sleep funny, or just tweak it, Low Back Pain can be hard to shake. With just a few simple stretches, you can minimize your pain in no time. Movements that we do on a daily basis without even thinking include flexing, extending and rotating the waist, using many muscle groups. Before you head out the door for your next run or busy schedule, give your back a little TLC with these 2 effective stretches.

Standing Biceps Femoris Stretch:

• Stand with your feet and body straight ahead facing a chair or stool about 12 inches high.

• Place one foot on the chair at a 45 degree angle across your body and clasp your hands in front of your body.

• Rotate your arms away from the leg you are stretching.

• Keep belly button in tight and squeeze the quad of the leg you are stretching.

Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch:

A year ago, I started creating momentum to follow my dreams. I never imagined I would be asked to grace the cover of a magazine, displaying my love and passion for health and fitness. I am so touched to be on the first cover NASM’s magazine- The Training Edge. Check it out www.thetrainingedgemagazine.com. Thank you National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)
