This 10-minute core lesson can help you get started in the best way possible: by getting you stuck. There’s no weight involved, which may sound simple. However, don’t be fooled!
A full 45 seconds break within 10 minutes merged. Sure, your core will be sore at the end of the exercise, but you’ll also feel better for your effort.
