Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,
Back fat. Those two words just do not sound happy together unless you're talking about a delicious piece of meat that you probably shouldn't consume anyway. Regardless, I have found a love for rowing type exercises. They have made my back lean, strong, and sexy. Here's one to add to your repertoire.
The Lawn Mower
1. Begin by taking a knee (the left knee is in front). Rest your left arm on your left knee.
2. Right arm is holding your weight; arm is straight. Keep the small of your back arched.
3. Bring your elbow up and behind you. Do not twist your back.
4. Repeat for reps on both sides, returning arm back into straightened position on the inside of your left leg.
You should feel the muscles along the side of your back working.
In health,
Lauren
