10 MIN STRONG ABS & CORE WORKOUT with Dumbbell | Caroline Girvan

10 minute ab workout using a dumbbell for extra resistance! We will be focusing on the rectus abdominis muscle, the obliques and core.
This is a slow paced no repeat workout that requires a lot of core and spine stability with extra focus on keeping the lower back pressed to the mat during any leg lower/extension.
All you will need is a mat and a weight. The dumbbell I am using for your reference is 6kg.
Simply follow along, the timer will be on for 45 seconds of work, no specific rest before moving to next exercise however simply take a few seconds to get into position and align!
* HAMMER HOLD CRUNCH (one side)
* HAMMER HOLD CRUNCH (switch)
* CRUNCH (on chest)
* DEAD BUG (one side)
* DEAD BUG (switch)
* TUCK TO EXTENSION
* HOLLOW HAND TO OPP FOOT
* HOLLOW HAND TO OPP FOOT (switch)
* TOE REACH TO HOLLOW
* SIT UP TO TO FOOT REACH (one side)
* SIT UP TO TO FOOT REACH (switch)
* SIT UP TO FOOT REACH
* RUSSIAN TWIST TO HOLLOW
* RUSSIAN TWIST DROPS
This quick dumbbell ab workout should be more difficult than it looks as you will aim to really reach with the crunch, lower with control during leg lowers and press lower back to mat throughout movements!
During such movements as the Deadbug, ensure back on mat, don’t arch back and keep ribs low.
Let’s see how well we can stabilise our core whilst limbs extended and moving!

Hello everyone! We experienced issues uploading yesterday and as a result a couple of the previews are not exact, so simply follow along with me as apposed to the preview! There is no specific rest during this workout but please take those few seconds to get into position and be aware of pressing that lower back to the mat! Exhale during the leg lowers and lowering during the Deadbug! 😁
