10-Minute Core Strengthening Workout

Please follow and like us:

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope you’re ready for a great core workout! I can’t wait to get back to a lot of these exercises! At 37-weeks pregnant most of these are off limits to me. So do me a favor and do this workout for me! Push through for an extra Rep and give me a mental shout out. 🙂

When I filmed this workout I also ran 6.5 miles. I did a 3.5 mile run in the morning with Jesse, and a 3 mile run in the evening with my friend Marie. If you don’t know who Marie is check out: Beginner: Full Body Toning to see her Before and After shots.

With all of my ab exercises I aim to work the entire core. So this workout will help tone your abdominal muscles, obliques (love handles), back, and transverse abs. I did the workout interval style, so it only took 10 minutes to complete one round. The other option is to complete it for repetitions. Try to move quickly from one exercise to the next.

If you find these exercises difficult, it is important to remember that these movements work a lot of different muscles. Do what you can, and aim to increase the number of reps you are able to do each time.

I hope you enjoy today’s workout! If you didn’t try yesterday’s Boot Camp Workout you can find it here: 20-Minute Boot Camp Sweat: Full Body Fat Burning Workout-No Equipment.

Have fun!
