When it comes to exercise, many of us are probably guilty of focusing mostly on the front of the body because that is what we see in the mirror. Back exercises, on the other hand, are just as vital as any other, and this article will show you how to build a strong and toned back.
These exercises were created by Bright Side to assist you in losing back fat. Don't miss out on the bonus section, which explains why back workouts are so vital.
1. Circular arm movements
Start rotating with your arms parallel to the floor, pressing your shoulder blades. Circle ahead for 45 seconds, then backward for 45 seconds before resting for 15 seconds.
2. Row bent over
Bend over, roll back your shoulders, and raise your arms while pressing your shoulder blades. You can perform this with dumbbells or without any weights. It's critical not to round your back, so keep your back straight.
Rep for another 45 seconds. Then take a 15-second break.
3. Bending over the pulses
This exercise is identical to the bent-over row, however you must pulse your arms five times before lowering them.
Rep for another 45 seconds. Then take a 15-second break.
4. Flying Superman
Lie down on your stomach with your arms and legs extended. Squeeze your back muscles and lift your arms and legs as high as possible while keeping your arms and legs straight. Keep your neck relaxed and in a neutral position. If you have neck pain, it's likely that you're placing too much pressure on it.
This exercise is excellent for strengthening your lower back.
Rep for another 45 seconds. Then take a 15-second break.
5. Fly in the wind
Keep your hands adjacent to your body, close to your thighs, as you lie face down on your stomach. Raise your chest and shoulders off the floor a little. Squeeze the muscles in your shoulder blades and upper back together. This exercise, in addition to the superman fly, is beneficial to not just the lower back muscles but also the oblique muscles.
Rep for another 45 seconds. Then take a 15-second break.
6. Superman's grip
Start as if you were doing a superman fly, but once your arms and legs are lifted, hold the position for 45 seconds or longer. Don't forget to take a few deep breaths. Try to hold your breath for as long as you can. This workout will strengthen your back, abdominal, and glutes.
15 seconds of rest

Keep your legs straight and your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Rotate your torso from side to side, reaching the opposing foot with the opposite arm pointing up. Attempt to rotate as much as possible. Ensure that your back is straight and that your abs are engaged.
Rep for another 45 seconds. Then take a 15-second break.
8. Lifting the back
Place your fingers behind your ears and your elbows on the carpet while lying face down. Lift your upper torso as high as can while squeezing your lower back muscles, hold for a few seconds, then drop it back down. You are not performing it right if you have neck ache. Make sure you're lifting your entire body, not just your head.
Rep for another 45 seconds. Then take a 15-second break.
9. Squeeze your back
Begin in the same position as you did for the back lift. Raise your upper chest and extend both arms straight ahead of you. Bend your arms to the sides, keeping them close to your body, while squeezing your shoulder blades. Squeeze as hard as you can your back muscles and shoulder blades.
This is an excellent exercise for strengthening the upper back.
Rep for another 45 seconds. Then take a 15-second break.
