Video 721 | Mobility Reset: Backward Bending (45 minutes) with Lauren Eirk
7 Day Fitness Plan

17-Nov-2025
Many people are worried that they will strain your lower back if they bend backwards, especially with spinal changes. In this workout, we will use the FIS 5-Step Isometric Method to improve strength and range of motion using bodyweight, and Therabands. A chair will also be incorporated into this routine for some of the exercises.
We will begin by assessing our available range of motion for the day from a prone / face down position. Next, the bird-dog exercise allows for core and hip calisthenics and static holds in kneeling and standing. Once muscles are activated, we can begin moving through some targeted shoulder flexion band exercises, followed by lat pull-down exercises and rear lunges.
By the end of the workout, your range of motion and back stiffness will be eliminated as muscles get stronger! This video will definitely increase your confidence in backward bends when done regularly!
