More on Working the Back


Here is a move that is a staple for me, the bent over row. I use dumbbells, barbells, exercise bands & more to do this move. This will help sculpt a beautiful back & while you are doing that, help with the appearance of a smaller waist! Give it a try!
This is from Oxygen Magazine. If you want to see lots of great exercises, check it out at your local store.

Set Up: Stand tall and hold a barbell with an overhand grip. Bend 45 degrees at the waist. Keep your core engaged to protect your lower back.
Action: Keep your arms close to your torso and pull the barbell toward your waist. Be sure to squeeze your shoulder blades and hold for a count of two. Slowly lower the bar to the starting position. Tip: Initiate the move from your back, not your arms. (Think of your arms merely as hooks.)
