Build a strong and toned back with these workouts

Although the back is a region that is frequently overlooked, strengthening the back muscles can help you maintain excellent posture and avoid back pain. Don’t forget to add back exercises when creating a fitness schedule to condition and tone your body. Some of the best exercises are listed below:

​​1. Cat cow pose​

This common yoga pose doesn’t build your back, but it is a crucial practice to help you be ready for the rest of your workout. The idea is to flex and extend your spine to its maximum range of motion. Even if you’re not intending to use it as a warmup, incorporating it into your regular routine will help you move more fluidly and with better posture.

2. Pull ups​

Do pullups and chin ups if you desire a V-shaped torso. Because they focus on the bulky back muscles that wrap along the sides of your upper torso just behind the arms, they help you gain width. These muscles can make you appear thinner even if you haven’t dropped any weight around your stomach since they offer the torso a wider, flared form.

3. ​​Plank​

Planks are a terrific bodyweight exercise that can be scaled to the knees if necessary. They improve your back, core, and glutes among other muscles.

4. Kettlebell swings​

Kettlebell swings exercise the front of your core as well as the posterior chain of your back. Start off light to fully perfect your form, then progress to larger weights to build explosive power and body control.

5. Pushups​

Scapular pushups are a wonderful alternative for both inexperienced and seasoned athletes, even if you can’t perform a full push up because they just call for a tiny range of motion. This exercise will help to warm up and activate your back muscles at the start of your upper body workout.
