3 Core Moves To Strengthen Your Lower Back (Over 35)
In this instructional video aimed at adults over 35 experiencing lower back pain, the presenter demonstrates three core strengthening movements and a broomstick mobility drill. The first exercise is the glute bridge, progressed from a two‑leg hold to single‑leg and alternating variations, emphasizing glute activation and pain‑free range. The second is the dead bug, performed with arms overhead and legs at 90°, alternating extensions to engage the deep core and chest. The third is the core hover, a four‑point kneeling hold where the knees are lifted an inch and held for three 30‑second sets, challenging spinal stability. After the core work, the presenter introduces a broomstick assessment: holding a broomstick at a 90‑degree angle overhead, performing three forward and three lateral squats, and inviting viewers to submit video footage for a free biomechanical analysis to identify the true source of their back pain. Throughout, safety cues (stop if pain, start with pain‑free variation) and motivational language are used.
