It is an area that can easily get neglected until ‘love handles’ begin to appear.
Another week brings another challenge and this time we’re battling back fat. As discussed last week, it may not be possible to spot reduce but we can certainly do a lot to help in the battle by building a strong and lean back.
The back is one of those areas that we can easily neglect until we suddenly see the ‘love handles’ appearing. Interestingly, people tend to notice the body fat long before they notice the poor posture from the lack of muscle, something that doesn’t suddenly creep up.
We have previously established that it’s so important to strength train your full body without leaving any body parts out, as this will cause imbalances in the body. These imbalances can lead to poor posture and injuries, caused by stress being put on weaker muscle groups.
