Simple Exercises to Strengthen Your Back

Simple Exercises to Strengthen Your Back 

Having strong back muscles is very important for many reasons.  Three essential reasons are a healthy back, good posture and increased strength. 

Healthy back muscles are essential in preventive medicine.  When your back muscles are strong and healthy you have fewer tendencies to incur injuries when using the muscles of your back.

If you have good posture it creates a more youthful and positive appearance.  Working on strengthening your back muscles definitely improves your presentation.  Imagine someone with a slouch back as compared to someone with an erect back. 

Also, strong back muscles enable you to lift, pull and push objectives, which are motions we use daily.  Like opening doors, lifting children, or bending over to lift groceries.

The exercises below will not only strengthen your back, but will also increase the flexibility of your back muscles helping provide all the benefits of a strong back.
