Hello all,
Starting my weight loss journey and have 20 pounds to lose, so not that much and i'm taking it slow.
I want to introduce new exercises and training week by week. This week I want to start core strengthening.
Can anyone recommend any training plans / youtube vid work outs for beginners?
Many thanks and hope you are having a great weekend

Here are some videos that compile a no-frills compendium of core exercises. They're by a trainer for the usa rowing international team, and feature elite athletes. No adverts, or extraneous junk to distract you.

YouTube is your best friend for this stuff. I've been doing yoga videos and they are VERY core centric.0

I've been following fitness blender's workouts on their website, they let you sort stuff by length, difficulty, part of the body, equipment etc0

Why just abs? It's usually best to follow a full-body program.0
