Forget sit-ups — build a stronger core and boost your balance with this 8-minute bodyweight abs workout

Your core connects your upper and lower body, aids your balance, and helps promote blood flow around your body. But you don’t need weights or endless sit-ups to build this mid-body muscle, as you can use this eight-minute, three-move bodyweight abs workout instead.

Since you’ll spend a lot of time on the ground, you might find it more comfortable to roll out one of the best yoga mats, but it’s not essential for this short routine, making it ideal if you’re tight on time, can’t make it to the gym, or you’re traveling without access to loads of equipment.
