You don’t have to go to the gym to build a stronger core. This eight-move core routine from Veronique Ellis, a certified Pilates instructor and founder of Evolve Pilates, takes just eight minutes, and the only equipment you need is a yoga mat.
“Building a strong core is crucial for overall health and functional fitness,” Ellis explains. “The core muscles, including the abdominals, obliques and those in the lower back, serve as the body's stabilizing foundation, supporting posture, balance and everyday movements.”
