Plank Stretch –
Strengthening your core is so important. You will notice that as you’re core gets stronger, your back will have less pain. So plank! Plank all the time. In fact, up the challenge. Every time you plank, try to plank for five to ten seconds longer than the previous time. You’ll be surprised how quickly you can build core strength and start living free of low back pain.

Plank Position – lay face down on a mat, place your hands or elbows under your shoulders.
