If you’re looking for a quick core workout to get your abs popping this Monday morning, I’ve found it — my favorite Pilates instructor, Lilly Sabri, just shared this five-minute weighted core workout. All you’ll need to complete it is a set of light dumbbells (check out the best adjustable dumbbells for working out at home here) and five minutes. The workout will strengthen, sculpt, and build stability in your core, without having to head to the gym.
As a reminder, a strong core encompasses much more than visible abs. Your core is the link between your upper and lower body, and is crucial for maintaining balance and improving athletic performance. Your core muscles also protect your lower back from injury, reduce back pain, and give you better balance and stability as you perform everyday tasks.
