This back and biceps routine will provide you with a fit & feminine figure while also improving your health! It's a win-win!
Your back is made up of some of the largest, most functionally important muscles in your entire body. As if this wasn’t enough reason to make you want to strengthen those muscles, it’s also important that they look sexy, too, right?! The eight exercises included in this routine will firm your back and biceps, improving their functionality and making them look really good.
The muscles in your back allow you to:
- Stand up straight
- Reach, pull, and extend your torso and arms
- Move your head and neck
- Protect and support your spine
This routine isn’t just about your back, though. It will also create quite a burn in your biceps. The biceps work to assist the back in completing the important functions described above. Aside from improving functionality, firming these muscles will also give you a fitter, more feminine figure.
