Workout Video: Bringing Your Sexy Back
By Crazy Legs on Feb 08, 2010 with Comments 4
Yup, this week’s video workout is all about bringing sexy back…to your back.
Often we focus on our abdominals and forget to balance our ab workouts with an adequate back workout.
The one thing I’d caution about the moves in this video is to really watch your form and make sure you power from your core muscles. That is, start by activating your core, get your breathing going and then start the moves. If you lose your form, or find yourself shifting, it’s time to stop the set!
My favorite exercise in this series is the back extension (done over the ball). Two things I note about that: if you don’t have a partner to hold your feet, a good option is to brace your feet against a wall. Second, the actual extension itself is a small movement, you don’t want to be arching your back.
Have fun and let me know what you think!

So many people neglect the back. Me included. I’ll give some of these a try.
Back is one of my favorite groups to train!
I work my back hard. It is so important to work all body parts so you don’t end up with injuries. Right now I work my back harder as I try to get my body weight wide grip pull-up. Getting closer!
Good video!
