Forget sit-ups — it only takes 7 exercises and 20 minutes to sculpt a strong core

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — when it comes to working your core, not all ab exercises are created equal. If you’re looking for a workout that’ll sculpt the muscles in your midsection, look no further, as we’ve found a quick core workout that’ll blast your abs. Use it as a workout on its own, or add it to your next upper/lower body workout as a quick finisher. Read on to find out more. 

The workout, created by fitness coach and qualified personal trainer, Caroline Idiens, only uses seven exercises, which are repeated for three rounds in this 20-minute workout. You’ll work for 40 seconds, then take a 15-second break. If you’re looking for a more advanced ab workout, increase this time to 45 seconds, and shorten the break.
