The post for today is a renewed focus on getting the back in shape and defining the muscles that actually support a lot of the body. Back muscles are responsible for a good posture and can help a person to avoid back pain and any issues that slow us down continually. One thing to note is having a healthy back; many times relates to having a healthy core and especially abdominal strength. With the back though, we need to focus on doing equal back exercises as we do chest exercises. The tendency many times is to do a lot of bench, incline, decline, and curls. These are great exercises, but we need to make sure that they are done in equal amounts to rows, pull-ups, push ups, dips, and rope pulls. When working out the back make sure that you are doing enough reps and sets that you feel it in the back. It is a large group of muscles and is not enough to simply do some things that use parts of the back. Spend an entire day to work the back completely. This way we are able to adequately work the area and improve those things listed above. Shoulder shrugs can also be a good back workout and even pulls the pectoral muscles up so as to give that great perky look combined with great lat muscles. If you find your chest and shoulders drooping; focus on workouts for your back to pull your shoulders backwards, lift your chest and build your shoulder strength. You will notice a large difference in your entire body strength. Everything is related and muscle groups work best when all muscle groups are in shape and working in unison.
I also wanted to introduce a friend, who will be doing the post for tomorrow. His name is Ron Rich and has had a great journey of life that put him in a position where he was overweight, unhappy, and lacked confidence. Now you would see him and think he has always been in shape. He looks great and has done a lot of work to eliminate his unhealthy lifestyle and his past overweight issues. Please help me in welcoming Ron Rich our guest blogger.
