5-Minute Core Workout: Follow Along With Me
Watch the full workout, then copy it with me.
Five minutes, that's all. Press play on the full workout and copy me move for move. Every move is also below on a loop, so you can watch it as many times as you need.
Copy each move
Plank, 45 seconds
Dead bug, 45 seconds
Side plank, 30 seconds each side
Bicycle crunches, 45 seconds
The workout
- Plank: 45 seconds. Elbows under shoulders, squeeze your glutes, hips level.
- Dead bug: 45 seconds. Lower back pressed into the floor, opposite arm and leg reach out slowly.
- Side plank: 30 seconds each side. Stack your feet or drop the bottom knee to make it easier.
- Bicycle crunches: 45 seconds. Slow and controlled, elbow toward the opposite knee.
Make it harder
Do it twice through with 30 seconds rest, or three times on the weekend. Done? That's your core for the day.
Do this after your walk or your leg workout. Five minutes is easy to fit in, and doing it four times a week beats one long session.
What I use for this workout
- A thick exercise mat: 6-10 mm thick so your knees and wrists don't hurt on a hard floor
- An interval timer app or a kitchen timer: so you can hold the plank without watching the clock
