The first exercise is the Pelvic Tilts. This kind of back pain exercise is said to be the easiest among all other kinds of workout routines for it does not require complicated moves. Yet despite of its simplicity, it is still found to be very effective.
All you have to do is lie on your back, feet flat on the floor with knees on bent position. Then, do a slight arch in the lower back part, tilt the hip area then put your back on a flat position on the floor. Hold for about five seconds then repeat the process.
Knee to chest exercise is the second routine you can consider trying. This kind of exercise aims to stretch the muscles in your back part. The process is actually pretty simple because all you have to do is lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

The third exercise is wall squats. This kind of exercise has multiple purposes, but still it could do effective wonders on your aching back. First, get your feet apart with your back on the wall. Step forward for about a foot then slowly lower down your body until the maximum angle is reached. Hold it for five to ten seconds, release and do it again. This helps your back get realigned and also strengthen your legs and cramp those belly fats.
Exercises for your hamstrings are also recommended. Hamstrings are actually the muscles that are found in the upper back part of your legs. With this exercise, first stretch your legs on the floor, lift a leg and hold it back with your hands and then pull that leg near your body with bent knees.
