10 Minute Barre Core Workout {Butt + Abs}

Take it down to the mat for this 10 minute barre core workout! This 7-move circuit hits the glutes, obliques, upper abs, and tough-to-target lower abs!

More ab workouts! You’ve been asking for them, so here’s an effective 10 minute barre core workout you can easily squeeze into your day, or add-on to any workout.

If you’re on my email list you receive my weekly workouts, and last week my main focus was bodyweight core exercises as I’ve been {and still am} recovering from sickness.

These low impact, bodyweight exercises are a great way to strengthen the core muscles {glutes and abs} used for every day activities. Also a great way to recover from and prevent injuries {I’m talking to all you folks with low back pain}. Not to mention benefits like toning your midsection and firming up your glutes.

I mean we are officially at that point in the winter season where 99% of my daydreams involve being on a beach somewhere far away from the snow and subzero temps of the midwest! So naturally, as everyone gears up for winter and spring vacations {I’m going to Arizona in March, wahoo} ab workouts become some of the most popular workouts on my site!

And this 10 minute barre core workout is sure to make several appearances in my own workout routine as I gear up for vacation myself.
