Two dumbbells, four moves and 15 minutes are all you need to strengthen your core and prevent lower back pain

Dumbbells are the ideal tool for building strength at home. You can use them to target various parts of your body, including your all-important core muscles. These muscles wrap around your mid-section and they play a role in everything from your balance to your posture and spinal health. 

This 15-minute workout from trainer Sadie Lee Thomas is made up of just four movements, but it targets a wide range of muscles in the core, as well as the lower-body. To do it, you'll need a yoga mat plus some medium-weight dumbbells.
