Back Workout Routines to Keep Your Back Strong


January 26, 2010

  Part of being healthy is keeping the back in shape, which is why back exercises are important.   The back is strained not only by lifting heavy objects but also by sitting in a chair for long periods of time but these workouts will overcome that.   If you want to keep the back strong, flexed, and well supported, do the simple workouts below 2-3 times a week.

Quick Note: Get in now and get your P90X and the New Insanity Workout today at the best workout store around Xtreme Body Fitness. If you want real results and need them fast you need to have the P90X and or the Insanity Workout to get results in 60 or just 90 days.

Warm Ups to Start

If you start your workout with warm ups, then you can prevent hurting yourself.     Stretching the whole body, from head to toe, is the best way to begin.   To get the blood flowing after you stretch, it is smart to also do some cardio, such as cycling or a short jog. The harder exercises will be easier to do when you start with these warm ups.

Deadlifts, to Begin

Doing deadlifts, will strengthen your back. They teach you a good way to carry heavy loads, which is keeping the lower part of your back flat against the object you carry, keeping straight posture. Suffering hernias and other such injuries will be avoided, when you work. To properly do deadlifts, lift the barbell from the floor. Continue, until you entirely lengthen your body.   You shouldn’t pull with your lower back when you are pushing up from your heels and bringing your hips forward. You have now done one deadlift.

Follow up with Wide Grip Chin Lifts

This kind of exercise is good for strengthening your mid-back. Keep the hands faced away from your body to start. Grasp the bar that is over your head and make sure your hands are at a distance further than your shoulder width, and hang from the bar.   Your elbow and shoulder joints is where the tension should be focused. If you jerk or swing quickly, you may hurt yourself.  Instead, while you do chin-ups bring your body up and down by using a contraction of your traps, rear delt, teres major, and your lats.   Stay in control while lifting yourself up until your chin is over the bar.   Gradually let yourself down to position one.    This is one chin lift.

Dumbbell Rows are last

Dumbbells are needed, after which you place them in front of your thighs. Grip them with your palms down. The upper body then needs to bend in half, so it’s parallel to the ground and the weights are hanging over your shins. Make sure that your chest is up, your knees are slightly bent, and your back is flat.    Start to inhale while pulling the dumbbells to your upper abdomen while your elbows are wide and out.   While firmly squeezing your back, hold it for two seconds then gradually lower the dumbbells again.    That’s your first dumbbell row.
