Hey guys, I'm looking for a good set of excercises for my lower back. I'm in my mid 30s and I'm starting to get stiff and sore after playing. I have trouble with tight hamstrings, too, and I believe this is all tied together.

I've got bad posture and too much time in the car. I workout and play regularly so I'm looking for excercises or stretches to incorporate into my routine. If you know of any good websites, that would be great, too. I know yoga would be helpful, but I'd like something more specificly like which poses work best.

well for strength of lower back and hamstrings nothing beats deadlifting

Thanks for the tip. I've always stayed away from that one just because it seemed sort of an advanced weightlifting move with potential for injury. Maybe I cna use some light weight until I get the technique down.

i had a lower back injury and im just coming off it.. my back would be in constant spasm etc.. and what i did was make my core stronger.. now my back doesn't hurt at all.. so really focus on ur core
