Muscle: Lower Back

Lower Back Muscle DescriptionThe lower back, often referred to as the lumbar region, is located just above your hips and below your rib cage. This area is made up of a group of muscles that support your spine and help you maintain good posture.

A strong lower back helps prevent injuries and eases everyday tasks, like picking up groceries or playing with your kids. Plus, a healthy lower back is essential for a fit lifestyle, as it supports your core and helps with strength training exercises.Ready to strengthen your lower back?
