Too often women tend to skip working out their backs and their chest. I hear so many women say," I don't want to bulk up, or lose my boobs." This will not happen to you, unless you are training to bulk, and that is very difficult to do. Woman body builders take supplements, and have strict diets to help them achieve those bodies, a little chest and back workout will only be beneficial to you. Ours bodies start to deteriorate into old age, and our backs are one of the first things to go. Working out your back will only help you to prevent injury and slow down the progression of back pain. Working out your chest is very similar, its really just great for your body. A few of the workouts are very common, but work great and I find them to be the most beneficial, and I have included images for those that may not be as common to you. Don't be afraid to challenge yourself. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me!
Back and Chest
Start with back workout one: The resistance band (20lb) is wrapped around my feet twice for maximum resistance. With your legs straight out, and your back straight, pull the handles as far back as you can. Try to keep the form presented in the photo.
15 pushups
One Minute Plank
Back workout two: Find a wall to lean toward and use for balance. Take the same resistance band and stand on the band with the opposite foot of the arm your using, allowing enough leeway for resistance. With your back slightly bent towards the wall and your arm straight down, pull your arm up into a bended position. If the resistance isn't enough, step on the band closer to the handle.
15 Pushups
30 Second Plank
Repeat Three more times: Challenge yourself!
