The BEST back exercises doing pull ups for beginners (instructional)

According to the statistics I've been reading, the amount of people who suffer from daily or reoccurring back pain, lower back strains or posture related issues, is absolutely STAGGERING.

It isn't hard to imagine given the sedentary living so many people chose for themselves, but the injuries often occur when we are attempting to do something, or be active.  Whether we are in the work place or trying to enjoy life activities.

So while the medical industry and care giving specialists are kept busy in rehab and physio to try and get these people back up to speed, I want to focus on how we can AVOID getting there in the first place.

I call this a state of READINESS.  Being in the type of physical fitness condition that allows you to most likely avoid these really necessary and debilitating back injuries and discomfort.  Think of the millions of hours of wasted time and fun that is lost by people and back pain.  It's just sad.

Questions to ask yourself:

1. Do you do regular exercise?
2. Does that exercise involve stretching and strengthening your back?
3. Did you know that both stretching and strength training are equally important?

You may have heard how incredible pull up exercises are for your overall upper body development but especially addressing the points above.  

If you can't achieve 5 or more full body pullups, then you may need to learn by doing assisted pullups.   The best way to do that is with an adjustable bodyweight exercise bar as offered by this company SoloStrength.  They have exercise programs for beginners and very advanced bodyweight only resistance training and it's an awesome home gym or professional training studio gym equipment options.  

Let me know what you think of these options and look forward to my reviews in coming posts...

Have a great day and be "back strong"!
