Back
Exercises For Women
Build strength, improve posture and feel more confident in your movements with simple, beginner-friendly back exercises.
Training your back is essential for posture, shoulder health and overall strength. Strong back muscles support safe lifting, protect your spine and help balance your upper-body shape.
These exercises are perfect for beginners, women over 40, and anyone looking to improve confidence, technique and strength in the gym.
Each exercise includes simple cues and links to demonstration videos so you can learn with confidence.
Lat Pulldown — Neutral Grip
Sit tall with your chest lifted and grip the handles with your palms facing each other. Pull the bar down toward your upper chest by driving your elbows down and in, keeping your shoulders away from your ears. Control the return and avoid leaning back.
Barbell Row
Hinge forward with a flat back and soft knees, keeping the bar close to your shins. Pull the bar toward your lower ribs by driving your elbows back, squeeze your lats, and lower with control without letting your torso lift or round.
Seated Row
Sit tall with your chest lifted and shoulders down. Pull the handle toward your torso by driving your elbows back, squeezing your lats, and keeping your wrists neutral. Return the weight slowly without letting your shoulders round forward.
