Your back is a part of your core, which supports all that you do, putting your body in a good position to add more weight to your squats, stand on your feet for longer throughout the day, or even knock out a few pullups (if you’re really looking to level-up). We’ve rounded up the best back-strengthening exercises to release tension and build muscle, setting you on the path to success. Choose a few of these moves below to create a dedicated back workout, or sprinkle them into a full-body routine. Also, to show your back some extra love, might we recommend rounding out your routine with a gentle yoga flow for a healthy spine?
