Add this routine at the end of your other workouts 2-3 times a week to improve your overall core strength. Fitness Trainer and Owner of FIT BEST Training, Renché Seyffert says this workout is for all levels. You will need to apply the 50/10 principle to get the best results. Work for 50 seconds then rest for 10 seconds. If you are on the beginners level, you can follow the 40/20 principle, where you work for 40 seconds then rest for 20 seconds. There are many benefits that come with having a strong core.  The stronger your core, the more weight you’ll be able to lift with both your upper and lower body.
