New to Fitness and Want a Stronger Core? Check Out These Beginner Ab Workout Videos

ACE-certified personal trainer and Blogilates creator Cassey Ho walks us through a Pilates ab workout for beginners. There are six moves including the hundred, single-leg stretch (similar to bicycles), and the lower-abs-focussed single-leg taps. You'll be doing each move for a minute and 30 seconds.

Amy Kiser Schemper of BodyFit By Amy gives us a 10-minute ab workout that is, as she explains, a little easier on the back while working through the core. We've got crunches, heel taps, plank on the knees, and more. She goes slow here on purpose, so following along won't be a problem!

This HASfit abs workout that lasts just 10 minutes doesn't require any equipment (like the others we've featured so far). You'll be given progressions as well to try once you're feeling stronger (regular plank shoulder taps instead of plank shoulder taps on your knees, and seated knee tucks instead of single-leg seated knee tucks, for example).

This workout was created by Class FitSugar host Anna Renderer, and it's geared toward helping people regain their core strength (she says she's loved doing this routine since having her baby boy!). It includes what she calls "knee-hug bicycles," as well as something called a "reach-behind" (you can be in a V-sit for this or rest your feet on the ground).

Katie Dunlop of Love Sweat Fitness brings us five ab exercises that she classifies as easy and will get deep into your core. One exercise that I've found to be more effective than it might look are what Katie calls "rock the boats." You'll need a pillow for this, and you can repeat the video once more for a longer workout.

If you're not into floor work, this routine from trainer Heather Robertson is done entirely standing. You'll be completing a 10-move circuit two times, and each move will be done for 30 seconds. Knee drives, oblique twists, high knees, and more!

Yoga instructor Adriene Mishler has a gentle flow for the abdominal wall. You'll do moves like Cat Cow, hovers, and modified Boat pose. Adriene will provide variations that are easier than what she's already guiding you through, so follow accordingly.

ACE-certified personal trainer Niki from SugarySixPack has a lower abs workout that consists of three rounds of a four-move circuit. She says it isn't timed, but it took her around 10 minutes to do and if you follow along, it'll take you that long as well. The first move is a tap-out and the last move is knee circles.
