Bookmark these FIVE workouts for a quick core workout on those days when you only have a few minutes, or need a fiery end to a longer workout. A strong core goes beyond aesthetics by making everyday tasks like tying your shoes, sitting and standing, lifting, twisting, and even vacuuming easier. Working your core will also improve balance, stability and posture. Add 1-2 of these workouts per week to start. Don't forget to tag me in your sweaty selfies and pin or share with a friend!
Disclaimer: If you have back problems, are pregnant, recently had a baby or suffer from diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal wall), or have trouble getting up or down from the floor, workout #5 is a standing workout that is generally safe for these conditions. As always stop if you have pain, or speak with your physician if you have concerns about whether or not these exercises are safe for you.
