Want a sculpted core? Back is often an overlooked but critical part to any core routine. Here are a few exercises that will kick-start your progress.
In order to have a nice core you must have a balanced back as well. The following workout routine will give you the fundamentals needed to build the back you’ve always wanted. If you are a woman with the following workout go with a lighter weight that you can for sure do all the reps and sets with and keep the same weight unless too easy. If you are a man go with a slightly heavier weight that you can still achieve all the reps and sets and increase weight each set and bust those reps out! If you need assistance with proper form look on youtube for specific lifts.
