In under five minutes and with a kettlebell, you can strengthen your abdominal muscles

Jason and Lauren Pak, fitness influencers, have shared a five-minute core workout on their Instagram account. This workout, designed in an EMOM (every-minute-on-the-minute) style, can be done at the gym or at home and targets a wider range of muscles in the core, including the lower back, hips, and obliques.

Each exercise in this workout has a prescribed number of repetitions, and the workout requires a kettlebell. The movements in this workout are varied and dynamic, making it an engaging and effective core workout.

How to Do the Workout

  1. Begin by setting a timer for five minutes. Each repetition for each exercise should take one minute to complete. The remainder of the minute can be used for rest.
  2. The workout is demonstrated on their Instagram reel, so you can follow along easily.
  3. If you want to push yourself, the workout can be repeated once or twice with 90 seconds of rest in between rounds.

Variations for Different Fitness Levels

The Paks offer both beginner and intermediate options for this workout, ensuring that everyone can benefit from this core routine, regardless of their fitness level.
