An expert trainer shares a 15-minute dumbbell workout that targets all the major muscles in your back

A woman in a sports bra holds dumbbell in a gym. She is facing away from the camera, so we see her back. Her arms are out to the side, with her elbows bent at right angles, so the dumbbells are in line with her head. In the background we see punching bags.

Your back muscles play a huge role in everyday movements. They help you twist and turn, provide power when you lift things overhead and support your spinal column.

So, strengthening them is a no-brainer, but it can be difficult to know where to start. That’s where this simple dumbbell workout from Sweat app trainer Britany Williams comes in handy. She’s provided seven different movements to try, which will help you target all the major muscles in your back.
