A Quick and Effective Core Workout

Reps: 15

• Begin with your feet slightly wider than hip's width apart and toes pointed slightly outward. Raise your arms up until your upper arms are even with your ears.
• Keeping your weight in your heels, sit back into your deep squat. Make sure your knees do not go beyond your toes or roll in or out of alignment. Keep your abs engaged as you squat.
• Deepen your abdominal engagement as you press through your heels to return to standing to complete one rep.
• Do 15 reps.

Your core is challenged more by keeping the arms overhead.
