Here's a secret about core workouts: The best ones work more than just your core. This four-minute Tabata workout will get your legs, arms, and back working hard, but will keep the focus on engaging your core during every exercise. You're sure to feel a deep abdominal burn. (That's also how you can carve your core during any workout, from running to spinning to lifting weights.)
The mastermind behind these Tabata moves is none other than Tabata queen Kaisa Keranen, aka @kaisafit and creator of the 30-day Tabata challenge that'll get you shredded in just four minutes per day.
How it works: Grab some space and a mat (if the floor you're on is hard) and get to work. You'll do each move for 20 seconds, as many reps as possible (AMRAP). Then rest for 10 seconds and move on to the next one. Complete the circuit two to four times for a total-body workout with extra focus on your core.
For best results, perform 15 reps of each move, back to back without rest, up to four days a week. And be sure to couple your lower-body workouts with cardio exercise and a healthy diet to stay slim and trim for good.
