No, not sit-ups — you need this 8-move workout to build strong abs instead

A woman's abs.

If you’re bored of sit-ups or simply want an ab workout that hits every inch of your core, this eight-move routine from 53-year-old personal trainer and mum-of-two Caroline Idiens is a brilliant alternative. Better yet, you only need a yoga mat and a pair of light dumbbells.

This kind of session is ideal for this time of year, when, if you’re anything like me, you’ll be travelling, staying with family, or dealing with gym closures. And do you know what I love most? Core workouts are one of the easiest strength sessions to do from home because they require very little equipment. It’s a nice burn too, like a happy pain!
