Five minutes and this bodyweight workout is all you need to improve your deep core strength

A woman doing the plank.

We all know how important it is to train our core but, let’s be honest, no one enjoys doing it. And, while we may have good intentions to squeeze in a few minutes at the end of our workout, by the time we get there, we’re usually ready to call it a day. That’s where this five-minute, bodyweight routine from fitness coach Elise Young comes in, making it easy to give your core a daily dose of training.

You may be wondering, ‘Is five minutes really enough to improve my core strength?’. However, Young recommends doing this five-minute workout around three to four times a week. Remember, consistency beats doing an hour-long core session every once in a while, which is why this snack-sized session is perfect for adding onto the end of longer workouts, or you could even sneak it into a lunch break.
