Forget Russian twists and sit-ups for a moment and try this three-move core workout with just a light set of dumbbells. With just these three moves and some spicy targets to hit, you can work your core harder and smarter in a short time.

Always aim to engage your core by drawing your stomach toward your spine while bracing and directing your breath down and out.
