Most people that I know always target there upper body and forget to workout the most important part.  Yes the legs and back!  Try and notice yourself picking something up next time and you will realize that you bend over Like a hinge)to pick something up and not bend your legs and grab the item.  We as adults get lazy and try to find the quickest way possible of doing something.  This routine will help you with your core muscles in your back as well as your legs.

Your workout will consist of using weights, a
