One thing to consider before popping your back: if you have persistent back problems (sore back, damaged discs, etc.), certain torso twisting motions may do more damage than good. Below I have included some stretching motions given to me by my chiropractor that are lower disc strengthening exercises Often, they will have to added benefit of popping your lower back. Exercise # 1 - Superman

Lie on your stomach with your arms over your head and your thumbs pointing to the ceiling. Maintain a slight chin tuck position (avoid looking up with your head) and raise your chest slightly up the floor. Hold for 45 seconds or as long as you can. Exercise # 2 - Side Bridge

Lie on the left side of your body with your legs out straight (feed staggered with your right foot in front) keeping your hip and shoulder in line. Then, support your upper body with your left forearm, placing your left elbow directly under your left shoulder. While avoiding rotating forward or backward, raise your hip up off the floor and hold for 45 seconds or as long as you can. Repeat directions lying on the right side of your body. Exercise # 3 - Plank

Support the body in a plank position with the forearms shoulder width apart and the feet together. Keep a straight line through the knee, hip and shoulder. Maintain contraction of the transverse abdominal (suck abs in against gravity). Hold for 45 seconds or as long as you can. Exercise # 4 - Cross Crawl Quadruped

While on your hands and knees, maintain abdominal hollow and keep back flat. Slowly extend your right leg behind you while at the same time extending the left arm our in front of you until parallel with the floor. Keep your trunk square and stable while hold position for 45 seconds or as long as you can. Then repeat using left leg and right arm. Finally, if you still need to pop your back then here is something that the chiropractor will perform on me periodically. A massage table would be ideal for this, but the good 'ol floor will probably work just fine. I would recommend not using a bed for this. Anyway, lay down on your back with your legs straight. Cross your arms in an "X" formation across your chest. Have another person put one arm under your back directly below where the "X" is on your chest and perpendicular to your body. Then, the other person should take his or her free hand, place it on your arms (the "X") and push down.

***** put your arms out straight and spin them around as far as you can then back the other way. I think of it as a windmill.
