The Deadlift is a highly effective exercise, but can it be done from home, and if so how?

You don not need heavy weights to do the deadlift. It is a very technical exercise and especially to begin with should be performed with light weight. Which obviously makes it a perfect exercise to do from home.

Here’s how to do it;

1/ Stand upright with your weight (or cans) on the floor in front of you, just in front of your feet.

2/ Bend down, allowing your back to go horizontal with the floor and only bending your knees slightly.

3/ Pick up the weights, pushing through your heels and bracing your core muscles as you do so.

4/ Slowly lower weight back down and repeat.

Done properly, the deadlift is a key exercise both for strengthening your back and burning fat from around your stomach. But technique is key, both in terms of the effectiveness of the exercise and in terms in preventing injuries.

Today’s Takeaway - Start deadlifting today and get a whole range of great benefits from it.

There is probably only 1 abs exercise I recommend you should never do, but unfortunately it is one of the most commonly used abs exercises amongst regular people like you. What is it?

A Sit-up when you come all the way up, as in the picture above. Doing a sit-up in this way is not only totally ineffective for you abs but it is extremely bad for you posture and can lead to serious lower back pain and problems.

When you do a sit up, you only use your abs when lifting a small distance off the floor. If you lift all the way up to a sitting position, you are not using your stomach muscles at all, but simply putting your lower back under strain.

Think about the position you putm your back in when you do this. Its a ridiculous posture and one that you would not even consider going into in any other circumstance. So why do it when exercising?

So there is no benefit of coming up that high. Just engage your stomach muscles and squeeze as high as you can just using them.

Today’s Takeaway – Make sure you are doing exercises properly or you may be wasting you time. Do sit-ups for flat abs is a perfect example.

If you suffer from upper back pain and or get tight muscles that cause you pain or discomfort you are not alone.

Most people learn to live with it, but little do they know with a couple of small changes to their current lifestyle you can get rid of it once an for all.

You need to do the following.

1/ Improve your posture.

If you spend a lot of time working at a desk, typing at a computer, or driving your posture probably isn’t great. Make sure your back stays as straight as possible and you are not leaning forward or hunching over. Also be careful you are not leaning or rotating sideways. Make sure your computer is straight in front of you.

2/ Get up and move around.

When you stay in the same position for too long your muscles will get stiff and are likely to seize up. Make sure you get up and move around at least every two hours.

3/ Chest Stretch
 When you have a ‘forward-shoulders’ posture you upper back gets sore. In order to reverse the process you need to pull the shoulders back, an you can do this by stretching the chest.
The best way to do this is in a doorway. Put your arms either side of the door frame and lean your body forwards. You should feel you chest stretch. Hold the position for 30 seconds and do this 3 times a day.

There you have it - 3 simple steps to a pain free upper back!

Today Takeaway – Back pain is not someone you should just accept. You would feel so much more comfortable without it.
