			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of the people today suffer from back pain because of the week muscles of the back, abdomen and buttocks. It is therefore important to do regularly some back strengthening exercises which will provide some additional support and strength to the spine of back. There are many back strengthening exercises, but important is not to overdo them initially, as it may initiate some immediate back pain.<br />
Here IGÇÖm going to explain five most popular back strengthening exercises. These are simple to follow and do not need any medical supervision.<span id="more-114"></span><br />
<strong>The Bridge</strong><br />
Lay flat on your back<br />
Bent your knees to the right angle<br />
Position the feet flat on the ground<br />
Raise the buttocks off the ground<br />
Abdominal muscles have to be kept tight.<br />
Repeat it five times<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>The Plank</strong><br />
Lay straight on your stomach<br />
Place the forearms and elbows on the floor<br />
Achieve a push up position by balancing on elbows and toes.<br />
Keep your back and leg straight<br />
Hold the position for 10 seconds<br />
Relax and repeat it four times<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Wall Squat</strong><br />
Stand up with your back against the wall<br />
Keep your heel about 1 -+ feet away from the wall<br />
Gradually slide yourself against the wall until the knees makes a right angle<br />
Hold the position for five seconds<br />
Repeat on the other side<br />
Leg lifts<br />
Lay yourself straight on you back<br />
Place your feet flat on the ground<br />
Right Knee should be bent at right angle<br />
Keep the left leg straight<br />
Rise the left leg until it reaches the height of right knee.<br />
Hold this position for 10 seconds<br />
Leg and Arm Raises<br />
Lay down with your back resting on floor<br />
Keep you arms beyond the head<br />
Lift the right arm<br />
Slightly lift your shoulder and head<br />
Simultaneously lift your left leg<br />
Hold the position for about thirty seconds<br />
Repeat the process by alternating legs and arms<br />
Legs and arms should be stretched after this</p>
<p>This should be kept in mind that any exercise should be done in moderation. Any suggested increase should be done gradually. Back exercises are not for any competition; these simply mean to strengthen your back and lower your back pain. Overdoing may cause some serious back problems. It is better to consult a physician before starting the exercise program. There may be some undiagnosed medical problems like hernias. This sort of problems can further worsen by stretching of the muscles and increase the back pain instead of reducing.</p>
