Routines to Work the Back


January 26, 2010

Keeping your back fit is part of being healthy, which is why it is important to do a few back workout routines.   These simple workouts will help the strain that are put on the back daily by lifting things or just sitting at a desk all day.   If you do the workouts below a few times a week, your back will stay strong and well supported.

Warm Ups to Start

To prevent harming yourself, always warm up before starting your workout.    Begin warming up by doing stretches from the head down to the toes. To get your blood pumping after you stretch, do some cardio, such as riding your bike or jogging. Starting with these warm ups, will help you accomplish the more difficult exercises afterwards.

Deadlifts

Deadlifts are a good way to 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. This will help you avoid unnecessary injuries when you work and to prevent you from suffering a hernia.   Start doing deadlifts by hoisting the barbell, from the floor, upwards. Keep lifting, until your body is completely extended. While pushing up with your heels, bring your hips forward and don’t pull with your lower back. That would be regarded as deadlift number one.

Wide Grip Chin Lifts

Chin-ups will benefit the middle of your back. Keep the hands faced away from your body to start. With your hands a shoulder’s length distance apart, grab onto the bar and hang    The strain should be directed to your elbow and shoulder joints. Do not swing up violently or jerk your body up because you may just injure yourself.   Contract the shoulder and upper and lower back muscles while lifting your body up and down.   While lifting up keep control of yourself till your chin is above the bar.  Let yourself down slowly, to the first position.   Chin lift number one is what that would be.

Lastly, are Dumbbell Rows

For this exercise, you need to use dumbbells and place them in front of your thighs. Take a firm hold of them with your palms down. Bend your upper body in half at the waist until the weights are dangling above your shins. Your chest should be upward, your knees a little bent, and your back flat.    Keeping your elbows wide and out, inhale, and pull the weights towards your upper stomach muscles.  With the weights toward your abdomen, squeeze the back for two seconds, then slowly lower them back down.    You have now done one dumbbell row.
