Stretching Your Lower Back with a Pull Up Bar
A pull up bar can help you stretch your lower back, relieving tension and pain. Learning proper form and following these steps can help you get the most out of your stretching routine and avoid injury.
Step by Step Instructions:
- Position the pull-up bar at a comfortable height, usually at least chest or waist height.
- Stand directly under the bar and grip it with your hands, one hand on each side.
- Use your arms to support your weight, and slowly lift your body up until your arms are fully extended.
- Bend one knee up towards your chest. Keep your other leg straight.
- Hold for 30 seconds then slowly lower yourself back down.
- Release the bar and switch your leg, lifting the other knee up to your chest and hold for a further 30 seconds.
- Gradually lower yourself down the bar and repeat this exercise for a few repetitions.
When stretching your lower back using a pull up bar it’s important to maintain good form throughout the exercise to avoid injury. Make sure not to swing your legs while raising and lowering yourself and keep your core engaged and your body aligned. Be sure to check with your physician before beginning any stretching movements to ensure that they are appropriate for your fitness level.
