I’ve been trying to strengthen my core lately, to see if it will alleviate the aches and pains I get after sitting at my desk all day.
Specifically, I've been trying to do deep core workouts, which target the obliques, the hips and the lower back, as well as the abdominal muscles.
Physiotherapist and Pilates instructor Lilly Sabri recently shared a 10-minute workout designed to target these muscles, so I thought I'd give it a go.
It's a Pilates-style workout, a type of exercise that involves small, controlled movements that build strength as well as improve your coordination and posture.
Most of the exercises in this routine are done from a seated or lying down position, which means they're generally accessible and suited for beginners, but they still pack a punch.
