The kick board is a great tool, and this exercise will help you build a strong base in your lower back for stability. Consider trying the following:
In between sets, be sure to rest. With this exercise and others, the risk of injury due to loss of form increases as you fatigue. By resting between sets, you allow for that all-important recovery to take place so you can execute your next set with proper form.
This stretch is perfect to limber up your lower back, easing out all the muscles in a relatively weightless environment and allowing the burdened parts of your spine to loosen up. Try these steps:
If this puts strain on your neck, you can allow your head to rest in the water and come up for breaths.
Water walking is a low-impact cardio exercise that can also help strengthen muscle groups that you use everyday when walking around. It’s generally an easy way to get some cardio in the pool, and will leave you feeling steadier and lighter on your feet on solid ground. The extra resistance of walking in water allows you to challenge and strengthen your muscles in ways you may not be able to with a land-based routine. It also helps you burn more calories, which can aid in weight loss.
This exercise can improve both flexibility and strength in your hips, which in turn can improve lower back pain. For a successful set of leg lifts, try the following:
Your core will be getting as much action as your legs in this exercise. Once you feel balanced and supported at the pool’s edge, feel free to pick your hands up for an added ab challenge.
When dealing with back pain, these two strokes are optimal as they do not necessitate a lot of twisting like freestyle or butterfly do. These low-impact movements still let you get your cardio in and build strength without unnecessary stress.
