"Upgrade Your Core Strength: Ditch Sit-Ups for These 5 Effective Exercises"

Building core strength doesn't require endless sit-ups. A personal trainer has shared a 20-minute workout consisting of five compound exercises that target multiple muscle groups and joints while strengthening the core. The exercises include slow mountain climbers, Z-shape front raise, overhead twists, weighted bicycle crunch, and round the world. All you need is a mat, a challenging dumbbell, and some water. The workout can be modified for beginners and should be followed by a warm-up and cool-down. Core strength is important for postural control, stability, and overall strength in daily activities.
