A well-trained butt and toned legs aren’t just nice to look at. Many suffer pain from lower back and leg pain from sitting all day.  The hamstring muscles are connected to the bones at the bottom of the lower pelvis. Tight hamstring muscles can lead to the locked pelvis and cause stress on the lower back, which would inadvertently cause pain in the spine and contributes to poor posture.
