In this workout, dumbbells are added to many of the flexion-based exercises we have been incorporating, such as crunches, leg raises, knee to chest, and several others. To target the muscles in this plane of motion, we will be loading the exercises bilaterally (both sides) to target hip, spinal, and shoulder muscles.
