]]> If you’re looking to strengthen your core, there are plenty of exercises out there that claim to do the trick. However, not all core exercises are created equal. To help you weed out the ineffective exercises and focus on the ones that actually work, here are some core exercises that are worth incorporating into your routine.

Plank

The plank is a classic exercise that targets your entire core, including your abs, back, and hips. It’s simple, but oh-so effective. Start in a push-up position with your hands directly under your shoulders, then lower down onto your forearms. Keep your body in a straight line and hold for 30-60 seconds.

Mountain Climbers

Mountain climbers are a great way to get your heart rate up while also working your core. Start in a push-up position with your hands directly under your shoulders. Bring your right knee towards your chest, then quickly switch and bring your left knee towards your chest. Continue alternating legs for 30-60 seconds.

Dead Bug

The dead bug exercise is a great way to work your core while also engaging your hip flexors and quads. Lie on your back with your arms extended towards the ceiling and your legs bent at a 90-degree angle. Lower your right arm and left leg towards the ground, keeping your lower back pressed into the floor. Return to starting position and repeat with your left arm and right leg. Continue alternating sides for 10-15 reps.

Bicycle Crunches

Bicycle crunches are a great way to target your rectus abdominis (aka your six-pack muscles) as well as your obliques. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your head and bring your right elbow to your left knee as you straighten your right leg. Switch sides, bringing your left elbow to your right knee as you straighten your left leg. Continue alternating sides for 10-15 reps.

Side Plank

Side planks are a killer exercise for your obliques, and they also work your shoulders and hips. Lie on your side with your forearm on the ground and your elbow directly under your shoulder. Stack your feet on top of each other and lift your hips off the ground. Hold for 30-60 seconds, then switch sides.

]]> Strong arms never go out of fashion. Think Michelle Obama and Jennifer Lopez—we all want what they have. It takes just 15 minutes of focused arm exercises to stay toned and strong. All you need are some dumbbells and a yoga mat and you’re set. These exercises can be incorporated into your full body workouts, or you can dedicate one workout a week to your upper body.

Bicep Curls

Standing with your feet hip width apart, take a dumbbell in each hand. Without moving the upper arms, bend the elbows and bring the weights towards the shoulders. Lower back to starting point with control and do 11 more reps.

Alternating Bent Over Row

With dumbbells or kettlebells, stand feet hip-width apart and your palms facing each other. Hinge the hips backwards and bring the upper body parallel to the floor. Contracting the core, bend the left elbow back, bringing the hand in line with your ribs, lower back to start position. Do 12 reps on each side.

Tricep Kickbacks

Start with feet apart and knees bent. Lean slightly forward with a dumbbell in each hand, elbows at 90 degrees by your sides. Press the dumbbells back and up, and as you straighten your arms, squeeze the triceps. Lower weights with control to start position. Do 12 reps.
