In the quest of a well structured and muscled physique, body builders learn and endeavour to build the back muscles simultaneously with their chest, leg, stomach and arm muscles. Te back should and must be nourished with out most care if a balanced and proportionally astute physique is to be developed. The back should actually be seen as the framework from which all other muscle groups project and therefore as important to body building as any other area. It is actually foolhardy, to build on the muscles located elsewhere in the body and yet leave out the back as a weak structure.

The following key exercises are therefore fundamental in body building and help establish consistence growth and development of the back muscles simultaneously with other muscle groups. To warm up before the actual back muscles exercises, it is advisable that you lie back on a flat surface and try to relax all your muscles and especially those connecting to the spinal column. The arms should be outstretched projecting forwards with the palms lying flat on the floor. Then attempt to lift one of your legs off the ground to just a few centimetres, maintaining a straight face upwards. Then the leg should be raised higher but gradually and the alternate leg raised after slowly dropping the other. The second basic exercise is to rhythmically tighten the buttocks while lifting both your legs and arms up and down in successive movements.

To exercise the upper-back, you should be done by repeating the above two exercises but this time while you lie on the stomach instead of the back. At this point though, you can attempt lifting the head from the neck upwards using the hands to exert pressure on the floor while the body remains straightened on the floor. Perform repeat sets of these two exercises both for the upper and lower back being gradual but consistent. Repetition yields fitness and it soon becomes easy as you continue doing the exercises day after day. After a session of these basic warm up exercises, it is time to go forth and curve the back severally by standing up straight and then bending forwards and then backwards consecutively and repetitively.

During relaxation, sit down and let your feet to roll sideways until the twist is effected on the waist level. Try to lie sideways and then outstretching one arm over the head as far as you can go and then alternating this with the other arm. Also try to raise one leg as far up as possible preferably until the knee touches the forehead. Alternate the legs and repeat the exercise severally. Complete relaxation is necessary at all times when performing back exercises because it essentially helps prevent overstretching which can cause muscle injuries and even back pains.

To finalise the session, try to harmonise the back muscles with those of the other muscle groups by performing a basic exercise that works up each of them while still stretching casually. This should be brief but effectively done because it reduces the chances of soreness and back pains. It also important to note that working out either back or front muscle groups only and leaving out the other generates none-uniform growth which ultimately leads to poor posture, disproportional stature and poor muscular coordination. Professional instructors advocate for several press ups during back exercises especially during those gaps when changing from one exercise to the other.
