Do Not Neglect Your Backside
Adding onto the post made yesterday on building your glutes, I wanted to talk about something people tend to neglect when they are training. We often focus on muscles like our arms, stomachs, and chest when it comes to how successful our training programs are or have been.
But what people really forget is the muscles that are located in the back of your body. The muscles that you can't see in the mirror are equally if not more important than the muscles that you can see. Training your glutes, your upper back, lower back, will help create a balanced body equpped for everyday life and even for the weekend warriors as well.
In my quest to provide you with exercises you can perform at home, here's another exercise that will help target the muscles of the lower and upper back. Again this is important for having that sexy lean posture while protecting your lower back.
This exercise is known as the cobra. The image and directions is brought to you by ptonthenet.com
You would perform this exercise 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions with 30-45 seconds rest between each set.
There goes another exercise for you to put in your arsenal. Remember do not neglect your backside.
