**DISCLAIMER!!! I am not a professional trainer. I have lots of workout experience but do not attempt the exercises unless you are okay to do in your own capacity and without pain.**
The back is one of the most worked parts of our bodies. Unfortunately we often use it when we should be using another body part i.e.. remember that box you picked up and hurt your back when you were supposed to be using your legs to lift it? Yeah…So one of my favorite moves to work on my back is by doing Supermans.
Now, keep in mind this is an advanced move. So DO NOT attempt if you have neck or back problems.
The plain Superman looks like this.
Of course you can add more challenge by pulsing once the arms and legs are off the floor or holding weights in your hands.
You can also just do a wonderful yoga move that I love for the back.
Bow
Yoga Journal has a great breakdown on bow (and another move you’d like to try).

- Rocked a 15k! I’m very happy with my time, it would not have been possible had it been normal temps for July.
- Got one swim in this last week and it went well. I’m getting better swimming under water. I don’t know why but I get so nervous under water.
- Water: did well.
- Food: not so well. I didn’t necessarily over eat, but I didn’t always make great choices. We were on vacation, aka “eat-cation”. I’ve already been to the store for this week and I will be on track!
