This week we are going to work on obtaining a sexy back!
Exercise 1 - The Spine Shaper Lie face down on thef loor, your feet pointing outwards and your hands at your ears (or behind your back, for a gentler exercise). Slowly raise your chest until you feel your back muscles contract. Count to two as you lift, then gently lower again. To challenge yourself: stretch your arms out in front of your head, so that you rbody is in a straight line. This exercise works: the muscles that run along the length of your spine, helping you to strengthen your back and improve your posture. Exercise 2 - The Blade Buster Stay on the floor, facing down. Place your arms out to your sides and bend your elbows to 90deg. Slowly lift your elbows off the floor and squeeze your shoulder blades together to contract the muscles in the centre of your back. Count to four, then release. Repeat 12-15 times. To challenge yourself: Try this holding a 2ltr water bottle in each hand. This exercise works: the rhomboids mushcle and is a great way to pull shoulders back into position, creating a far more attractive posture. Exercise 3 - The Back Booster Remain lying on the floor. Place your right hand at your ear and stretch your left arm out past your head. Slowly lift your head, shoulders and left arm off the floor at the same time as you lift your right leg. Breathe out as you lift, pause for a moment, then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat 12-15 times before doing the exercise again using the opposite arm and leg. This exercise works: the erector spinae and is a great exercise for strengthening your back, helping you stand and walk tall. This is the last one for this year ladies  You have all done so well and i hope that i have helped you be motivated to lose weight
