    Lower Back Strength Exercises

    @jlwalker1166 Ahhhh this is super helpful!! I generally carry my stress in my upper back/shoulders, so it makes sense it could also be tightening my lower back. Okay. Going to do some experiments on myself—and will add in more back stretching!

    @vanillasunflowers I’m only 24w but I have definitely used the pregnancy as a time to gain strength. GRANTED, I was a typical cardio bunny stereotype prior (like doing 3 lb Peloton Lightweight Arms classes). 🤣 So, really I had nowhere to go but up. I’m now doing 12x3 sets of tricep kickbacks...
