15 Minute Core Exercises Workout Routine

You want to do some core exercises but do not have a lot of time at the gym. No problem. I am going to let you in on the ab workout I do when I am short on time at the gym.

All that you need is a couple of incline benches and some weights (either dumbbells or plates).

This workout should take you more than 10-15 minutes. That's right a great ab workout in only 10-15 minutes!. You will definitely be feeling this routine the next day, especially in your obliques.

You can do this with or without weights. Just cross your arms in front of you and bend all the way down and then come all the way back up so your back is straight. If you want to add weight, you can hug a weight plate as you do the exercise.

Do 20-25 reps.

Oblique Incline
Next we are going to work out our obliques. Using the same bench as above, turn on your side and lock your feet is sideways.

Bend down, then, straighten your body concentrating on your oblique muscles. You can do this exercise with a dumbbell in your hand to add weight. The hand closest to the floor should hang down, the other I keep at my side and slide along my side to make sure I?m really working my oblique.

You can then switch sides.

Incline Sit-Up Twists
The last exercise in this set uses the ab incline bench pictured below. Lock your legs in and curl your body up. When you reach the top, twist your elbows to one side, then the other, and then come back down.

You can do this with a weight as well if you wish.

Perform 20-25 reps.

Do this set of core exercises for 2-3 reps.

Make sure that you are concentrating on the abdominal muscles. You should get a very good burn out of the last 5 reps of these exercises. If not, you should try performing them with a little extra weight.

15 minutes is all it takes, and if you do these correctly your abs will definitely be sore the next day.
