Quick disclaimer, I don't have chronic back pain nor am I looking for stuff to ease it temporarily. Googling "back pain exercises" gives already a lot of results, but asking about something more general here.So, due to me carrying a heavy ass backpack while riding my bike a lot these days, paired with a lot of sitting down at a desk with at times bad posture, my back started hurting a shitton, and it basically locked up for a day or two, making it difficult to move around.I already did some immediate fixes, ie finally getting a basket to put my heavy things on my bike and just being more wary of how I stay, but I realize since this isn't the first time I had pain like this, and part of it is more tied to being half out of shape/exercising the wrong parts.Outside of some immediate back stretches which will ease me down, what more proper exercise can I use to focus strengthening my back?I now have a mix of both some motivation and free time next few months, and realize especially now at my age (early 20s) if I don't do something preventively my current habits will create chronic issues, which I don't want to fall into.
>>34422029Anything that's described as "core muscle exercise" is a good bet. Pilates is great; yoga is good for maintaining suppleness.
