Forward Knee Plank: The knee plank helps strengthen your low back. It also helps build foundational strength for more complex plank exercises that are found in the forward plank.

Bird Dog: Despite the strange name, this exercise works by engaging your posterior chain. Strengthening this muscle group can help improve your posture and may also help alleviate pain in both the upper and lower back.

Forward Plank: The last core exercise is a more complex version of the forward knee plank. The forward plank helps strengthen the main support muscle for your lower back.
