Original caption

Confession; I don’t spend my workouts doing endless sit-ups or crunches. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Instead, I focus on movements that challenge my core to stabilize, resist movement, and get stronger in ways that actually carry over to everyday life. These are some of my 4 favorite standing dumbbell core exercises. I’m using 10lbs but choose a weight that challenges you while allowing you to stay in control, and remember, you don’t need to copy my weight to get great results. If you’ve been looking for a smarter way to train your core with dumbbells, save this for your next workout. And yes, exercises like these are regularly programmed inside my dumbbell-only weekly workout plan 😉 #coreworkout #core #absworkout #abs
