"When your lower back is in pain immediately following a workout, chances are that you are not engaging your opposing abdominal muscles. Weak abdominals will force your lower back to handle the load of added weight, which can cause unnecessary stress on your spine," explains Zoeller. "Practice adding one abdominal exercise in between each weight rep to turn on your core. Also, before each weighted set, actively engage your abdominal muscles before picking up your weights."
If you have access to a fitness instructor, speak with them before, during, or after your workout to see if they can help perfect your form. Lots of fitness classes are led by an instructor who will be happy to assist you.
