Sweat it out
Getting a great back is not a one-day job. Fitness expert Zareen Watson says, “Prior to the festival, one should increase protein and complex carbohydrates intake and cut out on sweets and fatty food. Include cardio in your routine. Try exercises such as dumbell rows, cable mid rows, overhead presses and work on sculpting your upper body. One needs to work on shoulders too, to give an overall good shape to the back. For women, pull-downs work too.”



Guide for dumbell rows
> Take support of a bench for this exercise by kneeling one leg on it with the support of your palm and one leg resting on the floor.
> Now pick up a dumbell and pull it towards your chest till it touches it. Slowly bring it back down and repeat.
> Alternate with the other hand.
> Be conscious of your posture and do not force your torso up or rotate it while lifting the dumbell and maintain a linear horizontal position of the torso.
> Don’t jerk your shoulder.
