Pull-ups for a strong back
"At first glance, pull-ups look like they focus on the arms and shoulders, but they primarily target the latissimus dorsi — a muscle in your back that is not typically put to strenuous use during day-to-day life," David says.

Kettlebell swings for a toned back
"Kettlebell exercises work your lumbar extensors, which are crucial muscles in your lower back that can lead to pain if they are weak," says David.

Deadlifts for a muscly back
Anyone who's ever done a Les Mills Body Pump class will be familiar with deadlifts – they make up a large portion of the cult workout – and David is a fan too.
"Assuming there are no pre-existing issues, nearly everyone will benefit from deadlifting," he says. "As long as you lift with good form, keeping your spine and produce the motion using your hips, not your lower back—you should be fine."
Victoria makes sure to work out her whole body
Why is working out your back important?
"Your back muscles are incredibly important, but they are commonly one of the most neglected muscle groups when it comes to training," says David.
"By working this area regularly and developing strength, you are building up the main support structure for your body, which can help in a number of ways," David explains. "Training this area can help improve posture, which can help to reduce and eliminate back pain.
"Secondly, training your back can contribute to a strong core, with a strong back helping to stabilise and brace your spine, keeping it free from restriction and helping to reduce the risk of injury."
