Back exercises

Suggestions for back exercises

These exercises will to help to loosen your upper back which can become incredibly stiff with distance running. Paying some attention to this area will make a huge difference to your spine, your general flexibility, and will therefore help your running.

1. Secure middle of exercise band to a stationary object. Pull ends of band out and back while pinching shoulder blades together.

2. With arms held out in front of you at chest level, pull exercise band out and back while pinching shoulder blades together.

3. With arms behind you and held away from your body, pull ends of exercise band outward a few inches.

4. Secure middle of exercise band to a stationary object overhead. While sitting in upright posture, pull ends of band down and backwards while pinching shoulder blades together.


5. With arms elevated and slightly in front of your head, pull ends of exercise band outward a few inches.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR RUNNING!
