In fact, all you'll need is a pull-up bar, which you can find at Walmart or Amazon. The rest requires nothing more than your own home. The first exercise is a simple face pull-up in a doorway. This is one of the best exercises you can do to help reinforce good posture and shoulder health, regardless of whether you have a cable machine, a resistance band, or a door frame. Strengthening your upper back and rotator cuff will lead not only to good posture but also to reduced pain and better overall shoulder health. Next, we have a dead-arm hold done in two separate ways. There's an active hold where we engage our core, pack our shoulders, and keep our feet off the floor. The active version of this hold is meant to work on core strength, shoulder mobility and flexibility, as well as grip strength. These areas will benefit not only your body but also your workouts, as strengthening these areas will carry over to the gym and your daily life. The other version of the dead-arm hold requires your feet to remain in contact with the floor, but the primary goal here is spinal decompression. By allowing the pelvis to almost separate from the spine, you are creating space between the vertebrae to allow more room for the discs in the spine. This will help anyone suffering from back pain, especially after heavy axial loading, feel some relief. Speaking of lower back pain, the following exercise, performed against a wall, is one of my favorite exercises to help deal with lower back pain. The hip drop specifically targets the gluteus medius, which is the muscle that, when weak, manifests as lower back pain. If you strengthen the gluteus medius, you will find great relief from your lower back pain and have a new outlook on life. My best tip here is to drive your hips up and toward the wall while simultaneously lifting the opposite knee as high as you can. This will ensure you are effectively working the gluteus medius. Now that we've worked the gluteus medius, we also need to work the gluteus maximus, as glute dysfunction will continue to cause lower back pain, as the lower back muscles will try to take on the work that the glutes can't handle; this is what also leads to lower back pain. Introduce the bridge and reach, a simple exercise that involves a glute bridge and thoracic rotation. So, we're not only strengthening the glutes, but we're also mobilizing the thoracic spine and shoulders. This will help with any tightness or knots in your upper back that may be bothering you. To strengthen the shoulders, chest, and triceps, while continuing to work on thoracic extension, we'll perform the bomber pushup. Another added benefit is the hamstring and calf stretch you get from the exercise's starting position. By flexing your shoulders in the top position, you're also working on mobility within the shoulder joint. The key here is to be deliberate with each repetition, not just going through the motions, to ensure you're strengthening and mobilizing the right areas. As a bonus, I offer another exercise you can do on the stairs that will help address any knee issues you may have. It's a simple combination of a lunge up and a lunge reverse.
