Lower Back Strengthening Workout - Foundation Training

Dr. Eric Goodman came up with his ideas that make up Foundation Training as a way to get himself out of chronic lower back pain. The idea is we sit too much and our bodies lose the strength and mobility necessary for normal pain free movement. Dr. Goodman's basic Founder position/exercise focuses on strengthening the posterior chain including the glutes, hamstrings, and spinal erectors while creating hamstring flexibility and as he says "decompressing" the spine. I have used many of the Foundation exercises with clients for over 10 years and this is my favorite short but powerful exercise routine. This routine will lengthen your hip flexors and hamstrings, strengthen your glutes and spinal erector muscles, and teach your how to hip hinge - the key movement necessary to functional and pain free squatting and lifting. When someone can't hip hinge they will excessively flex their lumbar and thoracic spine which is one of the major causes of herniated discs, sciatica, back spasms, and back pain.
