Are you like most Americans and own a stability ball and don't use it? If so that's ok, most people use there exercise equipment to hang their clothes or becomes a permanent fixture in the living room.
But if you own a stability, you can use that piece of equipment to strengthen your core and back while doing nothing.
The stability is a very inexpensive piece of equipment that when used it can help you strengthen your lower back. If your like most people, you probably have a sedentary job that requires you to be in the seated position for most of the day. This is the reason why most Americans have lower back problems.
If your seated all day long, your hamstrings and glutes are deactivated, your hip flexors become tight and shortened, and in time you will have a deviated posture. All these things happen to most people while sitting at work and long commutes in the car. All these muscular problems will eventually lead you to lower back problem.
The best way that I know that can strengthen your core and lower back without exercising is to sit on the stability ball. Ask your boss for permission, but if you can take your stability ball to work with you can sit on it at work.
By sitting on the ball, you are forced to activate your core and lower back,
makes you sit up straight, and keeps your glutes and hamstrings activated. While sitting on the ball, all your muscles are activated and working at the same time. With all your core muscle constantly working, this will naturally strengthen your back and core muscles.
So instead of keeping your stability ball in the garage take it with you to work or to your computer room and sit on it. I promise you that you will no longer experience lower back pain. This is the best way to keep your core and back strong without exercise.
