Work your core
Would you rather work your core or injure your back?
Lack of core strength (which includes your back too) can result in back injuries. Back injuries are awful to deal with!
With a dumbbell or medicine ball, lower down VERY slowly, one vertebrae at a time, letting your lower back touch, then shoulders, keeping the ball or weight overhead. Slowly ROLL yourself back up slowly without any jerking or momentum & the ball or weight still overhead. Keep your knees bent & extended in front of you the whole time. ️
Be sure you’re warmed up!! In case this is too difficult, try it without weight first. This med ball is 14lbs
