With that in mind, I grabbed one of thebest dumbbellsand tried Neals workout.
I’m very surprised at the outcome.
Neal includes five exercises, performed one side at a time (unilaterally) for 30 seconds per side.
If youre a beginner, aim for two rounds with brief rests between the exercises and sets.
If you consider yourself more advanced, try three rounds with minimal rest.
Here are my observations after trying Neals standing core workout.
My abs felt it
I have a bad back, so training my core is a must.
However, I was surprised at how these movements challenged my abs in new ways.
Training without progression or change can cause strength and conditioning plateaus.
Each move in Neals routine engages the glutes in some way.
By the end of the second round, I was even starting to feel some fatigue.
Proper form is the most important part of a good workout.
If you dont feel the correct muscles working, adjust your speed and focus on doing the movement properly.
But by the third round, I could feel my biceps, shoulders and neck aching.
If you have multiple weights at your disposal, Id use them at least for your first attempt.
