A low-impact hip and lower back strengthening routine that mimics physical therapy's approach. The routine is designed to improve posture, muscle balance, and support for the lower back and hips. There is an additional stretching routine that can be done after each workout.
**This routine is not medical advice.
Notes:
- Equipment: resistance bands, chair, dumbells, swiss (yoga) ball.
- Individual exercises are mainly split into sides, when you see 6 sets, each set is per side.
- "Warm-up" is for any warm-up type exercise (preference for low-impact, like biking, elliptical, etc.)
- Days 1, 3, 5, and 7 are the main hip and lower back rehab workouts. The rest, 2, 4 and 6, are designed as low-impact strength training for the rest of the body and can be deleted if you prefer to only do the "rehab" workouts.
- Each workout can be done 1xWeek (7 days), or you can do a four / three split, with rest days after each group (total of 9 days). (Day 1: 1, Day 2: 2, Day 3: 3, Day 4: 4, Day 5: REST, Day 6: 5, Day 7: 6, Day 8: 7, Day 9: REST, and then start back at Day 1...)
