Take it down to the mat for this 10-Minute Barre Core Workout! These barre-inspired core exercises target the glutes, obliques, upper abs and lower abs in a no equipment home workout.
If you’ve done my abs and core workouts, you know that I believe the best abdominal exercisestrain your core to do what it is INTENDED to do — stabilize your torso as your limbs move away from your body.
And if you’ve done my barre workouts, you know I like to include these movements to focus on stability and small, deliberate muscle movements.
The Best Abs Workout: The Only 6 Exercises You Need To Get A Six Pack
Barre workouts focus on low-impact, high-intensity movements designed to strengthen the core and tone common “trouble areas” like the thighs, glutes, arms and triceps. Barre is inspired by traditional ballet moves but it also pulls from yoga and pilates exercises. A barre core workout like this one puts your abs to work with barre-inspired movements that will challenge your core to stabilize you as you move your limbs away from the body.
YES! Barre exercises are known to target the smaller, stabilizing core muscles (ones we tend to miss in full body workouts). These workouts challenge you to keep your core engaged at all times, building lean core muscles.
A strong core is important for so many reasons. According to Mayo Clinic, a strong core is tied to improved balance and stability, improved posture, reduced risk of lower back pain, and reduced risk of injuries (especially from activities that involve core rotation).

The wide variety of movement in this workout provides a challenge throughout the whole core:abs, obliques, and lower back.
Best Ab Exercises—and Ones That Are Wasting Your Time
Instead of doing hundreds of variations of crunches, we’ll spend the majority of the routine up off of the floor, with standing abs exercises. These use a combination of strong movements and balance, which calls upon the core muscles in a unique and highly functional way. If you move lightly, these intervals can feel like light cardio, or a nice-feeling active/dynamic stretch. Or, you can focus on moving strong, contracting your muscles, or even actively working against yourself in order to step up the challenge.
In the last third of the routine, we drop to the floor for some mat core exercises. These also target the muscles of the front of the core, the sides, and the back. Even while we’re on the floor, we’re calling on balance challenges (e.g., the single arm reverse leg lift). Make sure to minimize the momentum that you allow into each movement, instead using your muscles actively, and moving with intention.
If you want to step up the challenge of this workout, hold onto a dumbbell or kettlebell where applicable. You can also choose the more advanced modifications for any given interval - for instance, doing a side plank “dip” from a full side plank, instead of a half, or lowering your legs closer to the ground during the scissorkicks.
The 4 Exercises Workout For Lower Abs
When it comes to the difficulty of a routine, it is 100% your responsibility as the exerciser, especially when working out by yourself at home, to select your challenge level. If something feels too easy, check your form, then deepen your range of motion, or add more resistance in the form of weights. On the other hand, if something feels too difficult for your needs today, be sure to modifyto make it work for you (e.g., shorten your active intervals, lengthen your rest intervals, take more breaks, etc). Speeding up or slowing down an exercise can make it more difficult or easy, depending on which exact exercise you’re talking about. Long story short, do anything you need to to make this routine work for your needs today.
You will need: amat if you don’t have a soft surface on the floor, and an optional dumbbell or kettlebell to step up the challenge.
You can do this workout as a standalone routine (just be sure to add a quick warm up and cool down), or you can use this as a burnout round on the end of a strength or HIIT workout.
How To Engage Your Core: Steps, Muscles Worked, And More
If your midsection is sore after a workout, give those core muscles a rest. Just like any other muscle group in the body, your absneed a chance to heal and repair after strenuous workouts. When your soreness is gone or nearly gone, you can do core intensive workouts again.
