Top exercises to lose lower back fat
The back of your body is normally categorized into lower and upper back. The preference of people with regards to losing weight from the lower back or upper back region depends on their specific weight problem. Strength exercises can help in toning up and giving a lean look to your lower back but it fails to directly reduce lower back fat. Consider the following top exercises to lose lower back fat which can prove to be an answer to your problems.
Back Extension exercise:
Lay down straight on the floor while facing down with both hands on their respective sides. After that, raise the head and upper back from the floor in such a way that a comfortable arch in your back is attained. Make sure you maintain this position for at least 5 to 10 seconds before you lower them down to the original position.
Straight Arms and Legs Lift exercise:
Lay down straight on the floor and stretch your arms and legs in a V shape. Now raise your head, right arm and left leg off the floor in such a way that you balance yourself around the midsection area of the body. Maintain this position for a few seconds and then return to the original position. Than do it alternatively.
Stability Ball Back Extension exercise:
Lay down curled up on a stability ball, while your feet touch the floor, and the pelvis and lower abdomen balances on the ball. Now place both of your hand at the back of the head. Once this position has been achieved, raise the upper body without moving feet in such a way that your back is in a straight position. Remember not to arch your back, maintain this posture for a few seconds and then return to the original position.
These exercises may incur some form of moderate pain in the back, and the moment you feel slightest of pain, you should stop straight away. It may be due to over exertion or perhaps you are doing these exercises in a wrong way. Exercise will never serve its intended purpose if they are not done in addition to appropriate diet and general aerobic exercises.
