Core Workout with Heavy Weight (20 Mins)

The exercises in this heavy core workout are done for either 60 or 30 seconds. You move from one to the next with no rest, making for a 5-minute block of work. The first time through, do the first three exercises on the right. Second time through, on the left. Repeat. We'll rest for 30 seconds in between sets, 60 seconds at the halfway mark. You're looking at 20 minutes of work, 22 minutes total including rest. Most of the workouts I post use medium dumbbells (10ish pounds), but today we're ramping it up and going heavier. "Heavy" will of course mean something different for everyone, but aim for a weight about twice as high as what you consider "medium."

Listen to your body and modify as needed, stopping altogether if something doesn't feel right. A proper cool-down is important, too! Take some time to stretch after this workout.
