How Do You Use Wagging For Lower Back Exercises?
The wagging lower back exercise stretches and strengthens the generally sensitive and weak muscles of the lower back. Heavy weight squatters as well as Pilates practitioners and everyone in between use the exercise to improve the condition of this critical part of the body. Warm up with slow paced cardio exercise for 10 to 12 minutes followed up by some dynamic stretches such as hip circles and side bends. Place a towel, yoga mat or exercise pad on the floor to cushion your knees and shins while you do the back wag. Kneel on the padding and place your hands on the ground in front of you, making sure that you keep your back straight. Draw your hips to the side as if you’re trying to bring your butt towards your ear like a snake. Allow your right knee to dip towards your left knee as you wag to the left in order to get a more extreme bend if you need it. Hold the wag to the first side for between 15 and 30 seconds. Return your hips to center and then wag to the other side and hold there
