10-Minute Core Workout You Can Do Anywhere

Want to strengthen your core without leaving the house or using equipment? Here’s a short, effective 10-minute routine you can do right next to your desk.

1. Plank (30 seconds)

Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core and avoid sagging.

2. Bicycle Crunches (30 seconds)

Lie on your back and alternate bringing your elbow to the opposite knee. Great for the obliques!

3. Leg Raises (30 seconds)

Lie flat, lift your legs to 90°, and lower them slowly without touching the ground. Targets the lower abs.

4. Mountain Climbers (30 seconds)

From a plank position, drive your knees to your chest alternately. It’s cardio and core in one!

Repeat

Rest for 30 seconds, then repeat the circuit one more time for a complete 10-minute session.

Do this routine 3–4 times a week to build strength and boost energy during your workday.
