A strong core and sculpted abdominal muscles don’t need to be cooked up in the gym, in fact, it doesn’t even require a single piece of gym equipment. This core routine from Lotty Campbell Bird, a certified Pilates instructor and Founder of The Collective Fitness Studio, will only take you six minutes and requires nothing more than just your bodyweight.
“This is a great sequence you can add on to the end of your workout either at the gym or at home,” says Lotty. It's also perfect for those days when you've been sitting for hours and need to give your body some much-needed TLC. Strengthening your core not only improves posture and balance but studies have also shown it can help reduce lower back pain. This makes the workout especially beneficial for desk dwellers who need to keep their muscles moving to avoid aches and pains.
