1. Prone Press Up:
We spend most of our time in a flexed position.
Our lower spine tends to get stiff.
This exercise works on getting lumbar extension and helps reduce the stiffness.
Try 3 sets of 20 once a day.

2. Open Book:
This exercise targets rotation of the mid/low back.
Usually, this feels great and gives a nice stretch to the low back muscles.
Try doing 10 reps on each side and holding for a few seconds at the end of each rep.
