Cat-cow stretch: 

The cat-cow stretch is a gentle exercise that can help to loosen up the muscles in your back and improve spinal flexibility. To perform this exercise, start on your hands and knees with your wrists directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips. As you inhale, arch your back and lift your head and tailbone towards the ceiling. As you exhale, round your spine and tuck your chin to your chest. Repeat this movement for several breaths, focusing on the sensation of lengthening and releasing the muscles in your back. 

Side plank: 

The side plank is an excellent exercise for strengthening the muscles in your core, including the obliques and transverse abdominis. To perform this exercise, start on your side with your elbow directly under your shoulder and your legs stacked on top of each other. Lift your hips off the ground and hold for several seconds, focusing on engaging your core muscles to maintain stability. Repeat on the other side. 

Bird dog: 

The bird dog exercise is an effective way to build the muscles in your back and enhance spinal stability. To do this exercise, begin by getting on all fours with your wrists directly beneath your shoulders and your knees directly underneath your hips. Lift up your right arm and left leg off the floor and hold for a few moments, concentrating on engaging the muscles in your back while keeping balance. Switch sides and repeat. 

Superman: 

The superman exercise is an effective way to build the muscles in your back and enhance spinal steadiness. To do this exercise, lie on your stomach with your arms and legs extended. Lift up your arms, legs, and chest from the ground and hold for a few seconds while concentrating on engaging the muscles in your back and keeping stability. 

Bridge: 

The bridge exercise is an excellent way to strengthen the muscles in your glutes and lower back, which can help to improve posture and alleviate back pain. To perform this exercise, lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Lift your hips off the ground and hold for several seconds, focusing on engaging the muscles in your glutes and lower back. Lower your hips back down to the ground and repeat several times.
