Our back muscles are sometimes forgotten when we strength train—we tend to focus on the legs, glutes, and triceps. Strengthening your back muscles can help with any aches or pains you have in that area. Here are four back exercises for you to add to your weekly routine.

Bent Over Row

Start standing with your hips pushed back and your upper body tilted 45 degrees. Extend your arms towards the floor holding the dumbbells. Row both hands up next to your ribcage, making sure your elbows stay close to your body and your core is engaged. Extend your arms back down to start position. Do 10-15 reps.

Pull Down

Choose your weight and make sure when you are seated with your back straight. Stretch your arms straight to the pull-down bar in a wide stance and bring it down towards your chest. Extend back to start. Do 10 reps.

Superman

This is a really good lower back exercise, that requires a little bit of practice and precision but once you have got it right it really works. Lie on your stomach, forehead on the mat, with your arms and legs extended on the floor, so your body forms one long line. Engage your core, squeeze your glutes and lift your legs and arms, and chest a few inches off the ground, making sure to keep your neck neutral. Hold for three seconds and lower down to the start position. Do 15 reps.

Dumbbell Deadlift

Stand straight hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs with your knees slightly bent. Press your hips and back and hinge at your waist to lower the dumbells towards the floor, just under your knees. Press back up by pushing the feet into the floor and squeezing the glutes at the top. Do 15 reps.

Strong arms never go out of fashion. Think Michelle Obama and Jennifer Lopez—we all want what they have. It takes just 15 minutes of focused arm exercises to stay toned and strong. All you need are some dumbbells and a yoga mat and you’re set. These exercises can be incorporated into your full body workouts, or you can dedicate one workout a week to your upper body.

Bicep Curls

Standing with your feet hip width apart, take a dumbbell in each hand. Without moving the upper arms, bend the elbows and bring the weights towards the shoulders. Lower back to starting point with control and do 11 more reps.

Alternating Bent Over Row

With dumbbells or kettlebells, stand feet hip-width apart and your palms facing each other. Hinge the hips backwards and bring the upper body parallel to the floor. Contracting the core, bend the left elbow back, bringing the hand in line with your ribs, lower back to start position. Do 12 reps on each side.

Tricep Kickbacks

Start with feet apart and knees bent. Lean slightly forward with a dumbbell in each hand, elbows at 90 degrees by your sides. Press the dumbbells back and up, and as you straighten your arms, squeeze the triceps. Lower weights with control to start position. Do 12 reps.
