Like most people, we love ab workouts at Tom’s Guide, but let's forget them for one moment —  this five-move compound exercise workout torches core muscles and targets muscle groups all over. 

Ab workouts are great at strengthening the muscle groups that make up your core musculature, but you could also build core strength and hit various other muscles using compound exercises. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, you won’t be with the moves — a compound move simply refers to a multi-joint, multi-muscle exercise like squats and push-ups and can be done with or without weights at home or in your gym.
