i have this problem from so many years ,

i want to know is this because of my lower body weight or something else

please suggest me some tips and exercises plan that really works

Thanks

I have noticed my back pointing outward somewhat. And I don't like it. I edited the firat pic. The second one is the edited and that's how I want my back to be. Is there kyphosis? Poor shoulder blades? Rounded shoulders or just too much rows? It bugs me a lot

Devotional

Hey everyone! If you spend a lot of time sitting or dealing with a stiff lower back, I put together a quick mobility sequence focused on spinal articulation and thoracic rotation rather than just static stretching.

Here is the exact breakdown of the moves in the video:

Spinal Roll Down: Focuses on segmenting each vertebra to drop lumbar tension.

Windmill Arm Rotation: Opens up the chest and thoracic spine (great if you slouch at a desk).

Hamstring Stretch (with strap/towel): Keeps the pelvis neutral while targeting the hamstrings without straining the lower back.

Leg Circles: Mobilizes the hip joint while keeping the core stabilized.

Quadruped (Thread the Needle): Deep rotational stretch for the upper back and shoulders.

I usually run through this for 3 rounds (about 30 seconds per move). Let me know if you give it a try or if you have a favorite move for unwinding a stiff back!

I'm curious how common this is because I see it discussed quite a bit.

One thing I've noticed is that many people try to lift their hips as high as possible. Once the hips have reached their available extension, continuing to push higher may mean the extra movement is coming more from the lower back than the hips.

A few cues that may help:

• Think "long," not "high."
• Try to create a long line from your shoulders toward your knees.
• Let your glutes drive the movement instead of forcing your lower back to create more height.
• Keep your ribs relatively controlled rather than flaring upward.
• Stop at the highest position you can comfortably control.

The goal of a bridge isn't necessarily the biggest range of motion it's quality of movement.

I recently put together a detailed article covering:

• Why your lower back may feel more involved than your glutes
• What current research says about glute and core activation during bridges
• Common Pilates bridge mistakes
• Foot placement and pelvic positioning
• How high you actually need to lift
• When back pain during bridges is a sign to stop and get evaluated

Question: When you do bridges, where do you feel the exercise the most—your glutes, hamstrings, or lower back? And what cues have helped you?

This is my posture when sitting down and Im bending over slightly but near the mid-lower part of my back theres a very noticeable point where a curve appears. I just want to know how can I fix this and if this is actually an issue. Thanks
