3. Bridge: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet hip-width apart. Lift your hips towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes and engaging your lower back. Hold for a few seconds, then lower back down. Repeat 10-15 times to strengthen your lower back and improve posture.
4. Cat-Cow Stretch: Get on all fours and alternate between arching your back like a cat and dropping your belly towards the floor like a cow. This gentle stretch helps to alleviate tension in the lower back and improve flexibility.
