Wearing anything with an open back, gives me the vibe of spring season. I honestly can’t wait for the real spring to kick in. I’m so ready for some sunshine to take over this Washington rain we have. Even though I rarely have time to enjoy those good sunny days since I work indoor, but its still nice to glance at my windows knowing its bright out and having my mood up once I’m off.

Hope you guys are all having a good Easter weekend so far!

Workout: Back Lat Pull-Downs

https://youtu.be/udR63P9AHDw

Who wants a stronger back?

Workout:
.....................................................
Lat Pull-Down:
Front Pull-Down- (3x10)
Back Pull-Down- (3x10)

One-Arm Dumbbell Row:
Right Arm- (3x10)
Left Arm- (3x10)

Standing Lat Pull-Down- (4x10)
......................................................

Back muscles are often undertrained due to poor posture. Every time you slouch in your chair or allow your shoulders to hunch forward, you weaken your back muscles and reduce your chances of developing strong back muscles.

First, posture is key! Standing and sitting up tall will help you feel stronger and sleeker almost immediately. A strong back will enhance your strong, confident look and keep you from wanting to slouch in the first place. Second, a strong back can help you avoid back, shoulder, and neck pain. Third, your body needs to be balanced. We tend to push things more than pull them, so our chest muscles tend to get trained more than the back muscles.

Check out the workout supplements I used in my video:
Pre-workout supplements: Gold Standard- Energy, Focus, & Endurance
After-workout Protein powder: Chocolate Shake

Thanks for watching

Eeeek! I can’t believe that Winter is already over. Just a blink and its gone, possibly because we didn’t have a single snow in day in Seattle this year? Well…. that’s what mountains are for, right?

We drove a few extra miles to take a little mini trip up the mountains to Snoqualmie Pass. I love being around nature and nothing is more beautiful than having pure white snow powdered everywhere. And that is why I love WA because we have all four seasons, besides a little too much rain.

I’m so excited to start reveling my spring outfits.

Stay tuned loves.
