The Back-Saving Workout
7 minutes to a healthier back
Build A V-Shaped Torso
Sculpting a torso that's wide on top and narrow at the bottom requires a workout that targets the entire back. The largest muscles of the back--the latissimus dorsi--wrap around the sides of the upper body just below the arms. The lats give the torso a wider, flared shape. The middle deltoids and trapezius add size, while the lower-back muscles, rectus abdominis, and obliques provide support.
