You don’t need crunches to build a stronger core — use this 5-minute kettlebell workout instead

Man doing kettlebell ab workout.

Whether you love or loathe doing the best core workouts, it’s likely you don’t enjoy spending longer than you need to subjecting your abs to the burn. Thankfully, you don’t need to spend hours and hours jumping from planks to sit ups to death by crunches. You can get a solid ab burn in as little as five minutes.

All you’ll need is access to one of the best kettlebells and the readiness to pick up five core strengthening exercises strung together by fitness trainer Jay Maryniak. Sadly, doing one kettlebell workout won’t carve out a set of washboard abs overnight. But, familiarizing yourself with exercises that challenge your core, adding in some resistance and being consistent will help you get you closer to your core strengthening goals.

Ready to do just that? Scoop up your kettlebell and give this five minute routine a go.
