Hate sit-ups? The good news is, they aren’t the only (or even the best) way to work the muscles in your mid-section. Instead of doing endless sit-ups, one of the best ways to see results in your core is to train it like you would the other muscle groups in the body, by adding dumbbells, and training with progressive overload to strengthen and sculpt the muscle.
By adding the resistance of a dumbbell (check out the best adjustable dumbbells for working out at home here), you’ll increase the challenge on your mid-section. When paired with a healthy diet, this can make the abdominal muscles more visible. You’ll also get results faster, because the intensity is higher, making a 15-minute workout more than enough.
