10-Minute Standing Core Workout
Welcome to my 10-minute standing core workout with one (optional) dumbbell. There are 10 unique exercises for your core that do not involve one single crunch or getting on the mat. In this blog you’ll find a summary of the workout with some tips and notes. But if you just can’t wait to get moving, then go ahead and dive right into the workout.
If you have time, take my 5-minute warm up before your workout and my 5-minute post workout core stretch when you’re done.

Before You Begin
Following a 1-minute warmup, this workout is is made up of 10 rounds of standing core (dumbbell optional) moves with no repeats. The exercises are performed for 40 seconds with 20 seconds of rest between moves. The purpose of this workout is to build muscular strength and endurance in your core (your abs, lower back and obliques). I used a single 15 lb (6.8 kg) dumbbell.
