The 14 Best Back Exercises, According to Trainers

Similar to dumbbell rows, the aptly named lawnmower exercise engages your back, biceps, and shoulders. You may also feel this in your core and leg muscles.

• Holding one dumbbell in your left hand with your right hand on your hip, squat, bringing the weight toward the floor.
• Exhale, pull your abs to your spine as you straighten your legs, and pull your elbow behind you, bringing the weight to your chest. Your torso will twist to the left.
• Bend your knees and squat as you return to the starting position to complete a rep.
