15 MIN Abs & Core Pilates x Strength Workout | dumbbell workout to strengthen core and sculpt abs

Hi guys! Welcome to our fifth June workout, today is Pilates x strength focused, so we combine Pilates principles (slow, controlled movements, deep core engagement) with strength training, in today's workout we are just using one dumbbell, mine is 2kg, but choose a weight that suits you! This is a core & abdominal workout so we'll work on strengthening the core, engaging the deep core and toning the abs. We begin today with some simple but effective crunches, these will warm up the core, and start engaging the abs. We then move through some sit ups for total core strength. Things get challenging when we move into c-curves, these work on engaging the deep core, with these we combine oblique work, so this combo works on toning the waistline by incorporating those rotations. I set your obliques on fire as we move into some side plank variations, these are amazing for strengthening the core, and building muscle in the midsection to work on getting rid of stubborn belly fat! Before finishing with planks on the other side we take a quick moment in a supine position to work on the lower abs, guys this one felt like I should have grown myself a sixpack especially with the last exercise!! I won't scare you, but when you know you know 🔥 enjoy your workout, let me know how you get on!
