Bolster your abdominal muscles and enhance your balance with these weighted core exercises

Discover a seven-move weighted core routine designed by trainer Emily Cook, aimed at strengthening your mid-body muscles. This routine targets the obliques, lower-back, and abdominal muscles, providing a comprehensive workout to boost your core strength.

To get started, you'll need a set of dumbbells and a soft mat. The dumbbells in this routine come with 10 weight options, ranging from 5lb to 50lb, allowing you to adjust the weights according to your fitness level.

For beginners, a core workout specifically designed for those finding the weighted routine too challenging is also available. This routine helps build foundational strength in the abdominals and surrounding muscles, serving as a stepping stone towards the weighted routine.

Each move in the routine should be repeated between 15 and 20 times. Aim to do three sets of each exercise overall for a complete workout. If the moves are challenging, it's recommended to start without weights and gradually add a light dumbbell as your strength improves.

The core muscles play a crucial role in supporting and stabilizing the spine, potentially reducing back pain. Strengthening these muscles can make everyday movements like walking, running, and climbing stairs feel easier. They also link the upper and lower body, transferring power between these areas, enhancing overall physical performance.

For those seeking guidance on choosing the right dumbbells, a guide to the best adjustable dumbbells is available.

Remember, this workout can be controlled using a dial on the docking tray or via Alexa voice commands, providing flexibility in how you manage your weights.

Embrace the benefits of a strong core and embark on Emily Cook's weighted core routine today!
