What are the best excersises a woman can do to sculpt her back?

I'm starting to get back into fitness. I enjoy working out. I sometimes skim through magazines like Self to get exercise tips but I find that most of the time the moves are focused on toning your abs, butt, and legs. Only once did I see an exercise focused on the back but it requires that you do it on this specific piece of gym equipment. I don't belong to a gym and I don't have one at home. I want to build muscle in and/ tone my upper back but my main problem area is my lower back. That's the area I'm interested in the most. Does anyone have any tried and true techniques they can offer/recommend? Note: I don't mind lifting weights

  1. there is an article here that has program on body building that could help you out
  2. The lower back tends to store a larger percentage of body fat than the upper back. So for the most part, people feel they have to "spot tone" their lower back when in actuality and loss of body fat will do wonders for this area. Besides extensions, there is very little you can do to "tone" this area which naturally develops on its own through the course of most weight training regimens. You don't need fancy equipment or machinery and you don't even need to be a member of a gym. You can do most of the following with an inexpensive sets of dumbells or elastic resistance which are both very affordable. Here's a great list of back exercises: http://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises_back.html If you are a beginner, I would highly recommend you receive at least some basic guidance from a professional before attempting any of the above. . .
