We will use TRX suspension trainer equipment. Start by getting into the plank position with the feet in the straps, then hold that position for some time.

#2 –Knee Tuck

This exercise is significant for strengthening the glutes, which are necessary for maintaining optimal posture and avoiding back pain. It’s also a great way to relieve stress and tension in the mind and body.

In a plank position, bring the knees in and then straighten the knees back out. Perform 5 to 12 repetitions. The critical thing is not to arch through the low back area.
