Workouts synced up to music are kind of the best, and you don't have to hit up a trendy studio class to get them! YouTube is a treasure trove of fun workouts set to the best pop songs of the moment, and fitness YouTuber Maddie Lymburner [1] posts some of the coolest. Obviously, that includes the perennial favourites: ab and core workouts. Miley Cyrus [2], the Jonas Brothers, Lizzo [3], and more — take your pick from our top pop song ab workouts, for when you just need that extra motivation to get going.
"Truth Hurts" by Lizzo
Bonus: this one is cardio too!
"Mother's Daughter" by Miley Cyrus
An empowering anthem [5] for a challenging ab workout!
"I Don't Care" by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber
So. Many. Creepy crawlers [6].
"Sucker" by Jonas Brothers
If you haven't already celebrated the return of the Jonas Brothers [7] with an ab workout, now's your chance.
"Señorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello
A smooth, perfectly-choreographed routine set to the sultriest song of the summer [8].
"Never Really Over" by Katy Perry
The oblique burn [9] in this Katy Perry-infused workout is no joke.
"How Do You Sleep?" by Sam Smith
You think this workout seems slow, and then she explodes into some crab-looking hollow hold toe touch things that hurt my brain just to look at (not to mention my abs)!
"Temperature" by Sean Paul
A plank challenge set to my main jam circa-2005? Yes please.
"Liar" by Camila Cabello
Who knew that pairing a sexy sax solo with a bear hold [10]-slash-plank with side walk could be such a potent combo?!
"Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles
Crunch variations and enough oblique work to make your sides ache — good thing this workout is set to Harry Styles's smooth new single [11], because with this burn, you'll need all the musical distraction you can get.
