Usually I post pics from the front. But the "rear" is just as important. We tend to focus on getting nice abs, lean legs but let's not forget about that....
BACK!
I try and train back at least once a week. A nice v-tapered back makes the waist look teeny! Let's not forget about that back fat...you know, the stuff that pops over your bra straps. If you want that gone, get busy on that back. Seeing yourself from the back can help pinpoint those problem areas so never be afraid to see what others are seeing when they walk behind you!
I'm trying to grow those lats of mine...so pull ups are high on the list and I'm at 8 full pull ups now..unassisted. I have a long way to go and I'll be honest, back workouts are a struggle for me and always have been. I just don't enjoy them.
This week try out the renegade plank row. Killer strength and it gets that heart pumping!
To perform a Renegade Plank Row, get into pushup position with a dumbbell in each hand (or you can do as the picture and . Feet should be spread the width of your hips. Starting with your right hand, raise the dumbbell until your elbow is higher than your body and then return it to the ground. Alternate the same movement with your left hand
NEW ON MY IPOD THIS WEEK:
- Rhythm of love - Plain White T's
- Dynamite (remix) - Taio Cruz
Girl, you have a killer back already!! And I have done those Renegade plank rows... they are awesome! ...I am loving both those songs too!! We'd be great workout buddies :)

ReplyDeleteHey Cheryl
ReplyDeleteAny chance you'd be willing to share what you do for a workout on a daily basis? Always good to get some inspiration from you and maybe a new workout to "borrow".
You seriously are an inspiration. I too LOVE LOVE LOVE a toned and sculpted back on a female :)
