A Balanced Body, Supple Spine and an Ache Free Back is There for the Taking

Copyright (c) 2006 Paul J. O'Brien

Back exercises form the final part of three core muscles
groups that need to be worked in order to achieve
impressive and quick gains. The back is neglected for many
reasons in the average workout program. Some range form as
simple as out of sight out of mind ' you can't see your
back muscles in the mirror (unless you really flexible) so
what's the point in training them. Others say their back is
too sore, and some just don't see the point.

The back exercises listed here are crucial not just from an
aesthetic point of view but because they are functional in
nature. The majority of back pain is caused by a weakness
of the muscles ' strengthen with these exercises and your
back pain may well be behind you (sorry bad joke). People
often over work their abs and neglect the back only
worsening the condition.

Furthermore the back is a huge landscape upon which you can
stimulate the body for that all important growth response.
A well built back keeps you looking good in a suit, and
allows you to perform better in your daily life. Not only
that but proper posture, a problem for most, is an
essential element in an attractive appearance.

On a deeper level, a healthy strong spine, keeps you
younger, more energised and efficient. It aids in
stimulating the mind and improves your mood, sleep and a
whole host of other things.

If you'd really like to improve your health follow these
back exercises, and remember, if you need a little more
