10 minute abs and core workout... simply follow along! We will be hitting the rectus abdominis, obliques and core!
No rest so keep an eye out for the next exercise!
Every 3rd exercise will be sit ups!
Sit ups are not so popular whereas at one stage they were considered the ultimate in abs!
However I do like to incorporate them occasionally but tend to slow it down, focus on posterior tilt to rise (tilt hips so lower back is flat against mat) to rise and lower the same to save strain in lower back.
Lower with control during the sit-ups. Think of easing one vertebrae at a time to the mat as you lower!
To make it slightly less challenging, hands can be out in front as apposed to by sides of head!

As always, change the exercise to suit your ability, some examples include:
* Starfish and hollow hold: lower only so far that lower back can maintain contact with mat. Draw knees into chest for break when needed.
* Flutter pulses: raise legs up higher or perform bent leg.
This is short but a ‘not so sweet’ ab workout! Take it slow and breathe!
It’s only 10 minutes so really focus, full range of motion and control!
