@movementgems: There’s so much untapped potential in the muscles you’ve never directly trained. But when your back hurts for long enough, it’s easy to not see that potential is there. You move less, you avoid more, and the muscles that are supposed to protect your spine keep getting weaker, simply because nothing is asking them to work. Everyone has a different pain free starting point. For some, it’s gentle holds and stretches. For others, it’s already reps with a manageable weight. Where you start doesn’t matter. What matters is small improvements, week after week, that add up. Save this, and find your starting point for each of these 4 areas this week. Every one of these movements has easier versions and progressions on my profile. Movementgems.com
