Your lower back pain is probably not coming from your lower back. ๐
I know โ stick with me here.
The real culprits are โ
โ Weak glutes
โ Tight hip flexors
โ Hours and hours of sitting
Your lower back is just the one screaming for help.
When your glutes are weak and your hips are tight, your lower back takes all the load every single day.
And over time โ it gives up.
The good news?
It is completely fixable. โ
This week I am giving you the exact moves โ
Flexibility, strength and posture โ all covered in this series.

I give every single woman who joins Fitbelle the same starting point. No matter if she's 35 or 55. No matter if she's never lifted before or is coming back after years away.
These 4 moves. Because they work. Every. Single. Time.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฅ GOBLET SQUAT
Builds leg strength, improves posture, and protects your knees โ the joint that suffers most as oestrogen drops in your 40s.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฅ DUMBBELL ROW
Fights the forward hunch from desk life. Strengthens your back, shoulders and arms. Pulls your posture back to where it belongs.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฅ GLUTE BRIDGE
Activates your glutes โ your biggest, most powerful muscle group and your number one fat-burning engine. Also protects your lower back.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฅ SHOULDER PRESS
Builds bone density in your spine and shoulders. Critical after 40 when osteoporosis risk starts rising. Strong shoulders = strong posture = strong confidence.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Two days a week. These four moves. That is your foundation.
Everything else is detail.
You don't need a complicated programme. You need the basics done brilliantly and consistently.
Save this reel ๐ โ you'll want it next time you're staring at the gym wondering where to start.
๐๏ธโโ๏ธ ๐ช
They told her protein was "too heavy" to eat every day. ๐
Here's what's actually happening in your body โฌ๏ธ
โ
Protein digests in 3โ5 hours
โ
It keeps you full & stabilises blood sugar
โ
After 40, your muscles NEED more of it โ not less
The "heaviness" feeling? Usually too much in one go โ not protein itself.
Stop avoiding it. Start prioritising it.
Nobody talks about rest day nutrition. And that's exactly the problem.
Eating everything. Or eating nothing. Both are working against you.
Your body is repairing today. Give it what it needs.
Protein. Anti inflammatory foods. Water. That's your rest day formula.
Save this for every rest day ๐

Day 7 of Strong in 20 ๐
Rest day is not a skip day.
This is the session most women skip. And it's exactly why most women plateau.
Recovery is where your results live. Your muscles don't grow during the workout. They grow during the rest. Your joints don't repair during the session. They repair right now.
Show up for Day 7 the same way you showed up for Day 1.
You are one day away from completing your first full week. Don't stop now.
