5 Minutes to Tight, Toned Abs

5 Minutes to Tight, Toned Abs

No crunches required!

One of the funny things about flat abs is that to get them, you don't necessarily have to do workouts that directly involve your stomach. Rather, it's just as effective—if not more so—to focus on exercises that engage your core as well as other parts of your body, like your thighs, glutes, and arms. Enter: This five-minute workout video.

All you need is two sets of dumbbells—one heavy pair and one lighter pair—and a mat. There are five moves total, and it’s your job to do as many reps of each move as you can for 50 seconds, with a 10-second break in between each one. If you have more than five minutes, you can start the video over and do it two or three more times—but doing it once is totally fine, too!
