Having a perfectly toned body is what most of us desire to achieve when we start to work out. However, strengthening the heart, muscles, and bones is crucial to stay flexible as well as fit. Shedding light on the importance of strengthening the muscles, actress and fitness enthusiast Shruti Seth shared her workout video wherein she can be seen focusing on strengthening her back and shoulders.

Gaining strength and flexibility in these muscle groups is important as they assist in building a stable core while preventing injuries. Several activities we perform in our day-to-day lives heavily depend on our back and shoulder muscles, therefore this gives us another reason to focus on muscle-strengthening exercises.
Check out some of the best back and shoulder workout routines to follow here:
Chin-ups and Pull-ups
Taking the weight of our body up in a uniform motion and slowly bringing it down with the help of our arms is how we execute a proper chin-up or pull-up. The strength of our entire upper body is used.
Deadlifts
It is one of the best exercises that a person must include in his/her routine. It is performed using a bar rod having weights on each side. With an arched back, the rod is lifted up and after a pause for a few seconds, it is kept down. The deadlift is an exercise that works on several muscle groups such as Quads, Glutes, Hamstrings, Low back, Mid-back, Calves, and Abs.
Reverse dumbbell fly
It is performed using 2 dumbbells. Pick weights as per your strength, then bend down the waist at a 45-degree angle with arms hanging down. Now we begin to lift our arms out to the sides and up. Our shoulders must be squeezed together at the top of the movement.
Face pull
A resistance band is used to execute this exercise. It should be fixed above eye level. Our upper arms should flare out to the sides so that our shoulders squeeze together. Face pull targets the posterior deltoids of the shoulder.
