Our back is precious; it’s what supports our entire body, so we need to look after it. However, let's be honest, many of us are guilty of not doing this until an injury occurs and it’s too late. Don’t make this mistake. Now, there’s no more excuses as this one exercise, according to an expert, will do just that and should be included in your fitness regime (if it's not already). You can either use a dumbbell, barbell or no equipment at all, so it’s accessible to all.
Our lower back, in particular, is hugely important as it makes up our core, which is responsible for keeping us stable, our posture, preventing injuries — the list really does go on. According to the NHS, back pain is the largest single cause of disability in the UK, while the National Institute For Health and Care Excellence (NICE) say that around four per cent of adults below the age of 45 suffer from chronic lower back pain. So, if you don't do any movements to strengthen your back, now's the time.
