My personal trainer gets me on my front and arms down the side and lift my shoulders/chest off the floor- its harder if you put your arms in front of you because of the weight difference. Ideal if you have a bad back!
Try the lat pull downs, rows, and reverse flies.
pushups, torso twists, stretching towards ceiling while alternating arms and legs extended
There are many different exercises to work back muscles.
Lat pulldowns, bent-over rows, back extensions, seated rows, and pull-ups are examples of exercises that work the back.The back should be worked out two to three times a week, depending on individual goals.
