Back from a brief hiatus, it’s Micro Workout Of The Week time!
This week we’re going to tackle a topic that comes up over and over again when people talk about training without using weights. In fact, I’ve even seen some MAJOR fitness blogs say that there is just no way around this issue when in fact that’s just not the case!
What I’m talking about is training your back muscles. In order to train your back, you need to incorporate pulling exercises into your workouts and most people will tell you that unless you have weights or a pullup bar, that’s going to be impossible.
I beg to differ.
While it’s true that it’s more difficult to train your back muscles without these tools, it’s definitely possible – all you need to use is a little bit of creativity!
So that’s the theme of this micro workout: how to train your back easily and effectively at your desk without using weights or a pullup bar!
Intrigued? Then watch on!
Here are the exercises featured in this Micro Workout:
- Table Inverted Rows: 20s
- Y Squats: 20s
- Scap Wall Slides: 20s
- Bent Over Rows With Exercise Band: 20s
Total Micro Workout Time: 1 minutes 10 seconds
So in less than 1 and a half minutes we’ve given your back an incredible multi-dimensional workout. Not only will this help you burn away fat and improve your upper back strength and definition, it will also help keep your shoulders healthy while simultaneously improving your posture too! Not bad for a super-short workout that can be done anywhere!
So How Often Do I Do These?
Every time you get a couple of minutes to spare during your day, get up from your chair and fit in this quick workout. It takes less than 2 minutes, so time is no excuse – you can definitely fit this in to your schedule.
On the average day, you should be able to fit in at least 5-10 of these workouts. And that all adds up to 10-20 minutes of workout time, which will go a long way to burning off belly fat, getting you in great shape and helping you have amazing arms.
