You don't need hours or a gym to build core strength - 7 PT-approved ab home workouts under 30 minutes

A woman doing a home core workout.

Brace yourselves: come the new year, you'll be inundated with offers from your local gym. And we get it - going to the gym to workout suits lots of folks, helping to keep us accountable and making it simple and easy to follow a tailored exercise programme. But if, like us, you prefer to get your sweat on away from the watchful eyes of trainers and other gymgoers, we have great news: you really can improve your fitness (and specifically your core strength) without leaving the house with the best core home workouts under 30 minutes.

This kind of session just so happens to be perfect for this time of year when many of us are away visiting friends and family, or gyms and studios are closed for a festive break. One of the easiest types of strength exercise to do from home, the classic core workout is an enduring favourite, practically made for doing at home and in a short space of time as so many moves don't require equipment.
