It seems like my upper back and quads are relatively strong so it’s just my core and hamstrings/glutes that could really use strengthening. Trouble is, the internet always says squats are my only solution. Performing squats gets insanely painful very quickly and I need an alternative.
I’m especially concerned about this for my wedding day considering the heavy dress I’m going to be wearing; I’m sure my back isn’t going to be a fan.
Any day to day tips for lower back pain reduction or strength/fitness tips for someone still trying to get in shape would be greatly appreciated!
***edit: I’ve worked with physical therapists in the past with little progress. My insurance does not cover any PT now so unfortunately trying PT again is not realistic option.
