If you’re looking to squeeze in a quick yet effective ab workout at home, you’re in luck! This 10-minute routine targets your entire core, requiring no equipment—just your body and a bit of space.

Warm-up (1 minute): Start with some gentle torso twists and arm circles to get your body ready. A quick march on the spot will elevate your heart rate.

Workout (8 minutes):

1. Plank (30 seconds): Get into a high plank position, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core and hold.

2. Bicycle Crunches (30 seconds): Lie on your back, lift your legs to a tabletop position, and alternate bringing your elbow to the opposite knee in a pedalling motion.

3. Russian Twists (30 seconds): Sit on the floor, lean back slightly, and lift your feet off the ground. Twist your torso to touch the floor beside you, alternating sides.

4. Leg Raises (30 seconds): Lie flat on your back with your legs straight. Slowly raise your legs to a 90-degree angle, then lower them back down without touching the floor.

5. Mountain Climbers (30 seconds): Return to the plank position and quickly drive your knees towards your chest one at a time as if you’re running.

6. Side Plank (15 seconds each side): Transition to one side, stacking your feet, and hold a side plank while engaging your obliques. Switch sides after 15 seconds.

7. Flutter Kicks (30 seconds): Lie on your back, lift your legs slightly off the ground, and alternate kicking them up and down in a controlled manner.

8. Crunches (30 seconds): Finish with classic crunches, lying on your back with your knees bent, lifting your shoulders off the ground while keeping your lower back pressed down.

Cool Down (1 minute): Conclude with some gentle stretching for your abdominal muscles and back to aid recovery.

This quick workout can be easily repeated multiple times per week to strengthen your core, boost overall fitness, and fit seamlessly into your busy schedule. Remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body throughout the routine!
