In this workout, dumbbells are added to many of the sidebending exercises we have been incorporating, such as standing side-bend, side plank, and hip abduction / side leg raises. To target the muscles in this plane of motion, we will be loading the exercises unilaterally (one side) to target hip, spinal, and shoulder muscles.
Experience some interesting variations on lunges, deadlifts, squats, and shoulder exercises using a dumbbell and specific body positions to stimulate muscles to flex the torso. Any time, if you feel as though the weight makes the exercise too challenging, feel free to eliminate it. This workout will help you to carry objects on one side of your body without straining your back.
