You don't need planks to strengthen your core — here's a 5-move abs workout using just a yoga block

Grab a yoga block and give this five-move bodyweight workout a try. It’s perfect for anyone who doesn’t have weights available at home or on the go but does have a yoga block and one of the best yoga mats to hand. 

Each move is supportive of your lower back, so you can work from the floor without excessive strain or the danger of overextension or overflexion. For those of you looking to kick up a midsection-melting burn, this 25-minute session might just surprise you — you can still build stronger muscles without lifting heavier weights, and you can kick planks to the side at the same time.
