This exercise strengthens your back, trunk, and thigh muscles, helping you maintain a healthy lower back.

  • Stand with your back 10 in. (25 cm) to 12 in. (32 cm) away from a wall.
  • Lean into the wall until your back is flat against it.
  • Slowly slide down until your knees are slightly bent, pressing your lower back into the wall.
  • Hold for a count of 10, then slide back up the wall.
  • Repeat 10 times.
