Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast.

In this episode, I'm sharing 5 ways to alleviate back pain by strengthening your core and improving your posture. Poor posture and weak core muscles can lead to common injuries such as disc problems and muscle strains, especially as you get older. But you can reduce the risk of these things by doing core-strengthening exercises like:

• Spinal stability (planks, bird dogs, dead bugs, & balance training)
• Spinal flexion & extension (cat-cows, crunches, supermans)
• Thoracic rotation (t-spine rotation, woodchops, twist crunches)
• Hip extension & glute-strengthening exercises (bridges, kickbacks, hip thrusts)

In addition to exercising the muscles around your spine, it's also important to be aware of your posture throughout the day. Maintaining an active lifestyle can also improve your core strength and posture. For more detailed workout plans and exercise tutorials, check out my website jaydigains.com, and my YouTube channel.
