Fit Minute – Simple Back

Fit Minute – Simple Back

In this Fit Minute Friday segment, Nancy demonstrates how to do a simple back exercise and avoid stress or injury. Here is another powerful move that can be performed with either a set of dumbbells or bands.  You can use one of two standing positions.  A staggered step, one foot in front or side by side.  Whichever feels comfortable for you.   The motion for this exercise like sawing wood.  Keep the palms facing in toward the body, pull the weights up and squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top, then lower back down. You can use a 1 count up and 3 count drop.  It is very important that you protect your lower back in this exercise.  As you can see in the video when Kathleen turns to the side.  There is no rounded back.  I love this exercise! #FitMinute
