Are you looking to strengthen your upper back but don’t have access to gym equipment? Don’t worry, you can still achieve your fitness goals with these simple exercises that you can do at home. A strong upper back not only improves your posture but also helps prevent back pain and injury.
1. Superman: Lie face down on the floor with your arms and legs extended. Lift your arms, chest, and legs off the ground simultaneously, hold for a few seconds, and then lower back down. Repeat for 10-15 reps.
2. Plank with Shoulder Taps: Get into a plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders. While keeping your hips stable, tap your left shoulder with your right hand and then your right shoulder with your left hand. Repeat for 10-15 reps.
3. Reverse Snow Angels: Lie face down on the floor with your arms extended out to the sides. Lift your arms off the ground and bring them together above your head, as if you were making a snow angel in reverse. Lower back down and repeat for 10-15 reps.
4. Wall Angels: Stand with your back against a wall and your arms bent at a 90-degree angle with your elbows and wrists touching the wall. Slowly slide your arms up the wall, keeping your elbows and wrists in contact with the wall. Then, slowly lower back down. Repeat for 10-15 reps.
5. Doorway Rows: Stand in a doorway with your arms extended out to the sides and your hands holding onto the door frame. Lean back slightly and pull your chest towards the door frame, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Then, slowly release back to the starting position. Repeat for 10-15 reps.
