Jessica Alba's Trainer Swears This 3-Minute Core Workout Is a Game-Changer
The core workout is super simple and quick, and the only equipment needed is a dumbbell. It is a set of three exercises performed at one minute each with zero breaks between each move.
To begin, Ramona does seated side-to-side leg lifts over the dumbbell. She keeps her knees together and her hands clasped in front of her chest; however, Ramona tells her followers that they can place their hands on the ground if necessary. Next, Ramona performs alternating dumbbell plank taps. She gets in a plank over the weight and picks up each hand to tap the top of it. She finishes off with a set of bicycle crunches, making sure to keep her legs raised over the dumbbell.
This three-minute set isn't just great at sculpting your abs; it can also boost your stamina. In the caption, Ramona encourages her followers to push themselves.
"Build your stamina by doing 1 minute of each of these without taking a break. Being uncomfortable is the lifeblood of toughness, so dig deep and stay on it my friends," she wrote. Her followers praised the workout in the comments section.
