Switching up my Back Day
Usually not a fan of these back workouts but they are growing on me....I feel like they are way better at engaging the back muscles than anything I would do standing.
They felt super awkward to me the first few times and that was without weight...but I have definitely adjusted to them and slowly adding more weight.
These exercises are humbling af too lol going from rowing 20-30 pounds to only being able to do 4 and 5 pounds with these...hilarious but also a good way to track progress...when I first started these I could barely get 6 reps in with 2.5 pounds...now we are about 8-10 with 4 and 5 pounds..and I really don't do these that often [mainly because laying down like this at 3 am...is DANGEROUSSSS l be done went right back to sleep ! ]
The beauty of these exercises is you absolutely do not need any equipment to feel the burn so it's perfect for the at home days !
Hope this helps someone 🙏 🙂

When I first began incorporating these lying down back exercises into my routine, I was surprised by how different they felt compared to my usual standing workouts. Although initially awkward and challenging without heavy weights, over time I noticed they targeted my back muscles more effectively, helping improve muscle engagement and overall strength. One of the biggest benefits for me was the ability to do these workouts at home without any special equipment. Using just light dumbbells—or no weights at all—allowed me to focus on form and controlled movements, which made a significant difference in muscle activation. This is especially helpful for days when getting to the gym isn’t possible. Tracking progress is also motivating with these exercises. Starting with very light weights and gradually increasing reps and resistance has allowed me to see measurable improvements. Even on days when I performed the exercises late at night or when energy was low, the burn and muscle fatigue were very satisfying, signaling a good workout. If you’re new to back workouts or looking for effective at-home options, I highly recommend giving these no-equipment back exercises a try. They may feel strange at first, but consistency will lead to better muscle engagement, improved posture, and a stronger back. Plus, incorporating these into your weekly routine can complement other workouts, helping maintain overall fitness and health.
