2 Supine twist
This lower back exercise aids in stretching your glutes, which can constrict when you have lower back discomfort and ultimately aggravate the pain. It also helps to extend your lower back. Instructions:
Laying on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor is a good place to start.Set up a "T" with your arms outstretched.Roll both knees gently to one side while maintaining a flat back.Spend 20 to 30 seconds in this position, then bring your knees back to the middle and repeat on the opposite side.When you spin to each side, lay a pillow or stack of blankets under your knees if the stretch is too much for you.

3 Back extensions
One of the most well-known lower back exercises is certainly back extensions. They are effective at strengthening the muscles that run down your spine (the erector spinae). Your back can be straightened and rotated with the help of this muscle.

Your lower body is raised by using your back muscles, as opposed to your upper body. This lower back exercise not only strengthens your back but also your glutes and hamstrings. Instructions:
Lie with your stomach on the ball and your legs straight with toes touching the ground.When the ball is under your hips, roll forward on it.Lift your legs while keeping them straight up till your body is in a horizontal line.Rolling forward until your forearms are resting on the ground makes this workout more challenging.
