A Beautiful Back for the Summer

There is nothing like an awesome looking back for the warmer weather as we wear bathing suits & backless shirts & dresses. I have posted about this before if you want to look at my older posts on April 16th and 18th. I found another great article from Oxygen Magazine's online newsletter to subscribers to their magazine.. ME! This article has an interactive picture of the back so you can see the different muscles. The particular exercise they show is an area that is so often overlooked by many women but once you develop it, it gives a beautiful addition to not only the back but the shoulder too!

It is really important to work "antagonistic or opposite muscle groups. Many of us will work the abdominal & core to death but we lag on working the back. If you don't work opposing muscle groups, this can lead to imbalances and either sway or rounded backs depending on which part you "don't work". Keep this in mind for all groups... like people that work their quads (front of legs) but don't work the hamstrings (back of leg) and then end up with knee problems or some other imbalance.

Here is the link & enjoy making that back look even better. http://www.oxygenmag.com/main.php?page=1
