Best Back Workout
These back exercises will turn your flip side into the sexy center of attention, plus they'll banish back pain and improve your posture.
A toned back isn't just a must-have accessory when you're rocking a
backless dress—it can be one of your body's most valuable assets. "Your
back is involved in everything you do, from running to lugging
groceries, so strengthening it is crucial to improving fitness and
preventing injury," says Lacey Stone, owner of Lacey Stone Fitness in
New York City. "It's also the key to better posture, which gives you a
confident look no matter what you're wearing." What's more, working the
muscles from your shoulders to hips can help ease (or stave off) back
pain: A study found that adults with chronic backaches felt
significantly less pain after a 16-week strength-training program.

Stone's workout targets your entire upper and lower back, core, hips,
and glutes. Do it two or three times a week (three sets of each
exercise, working up to 12 reps per set) to improve your posture,
prevent aches and pains, and achieve a strong, defined rear view.
