I have found that oftentimes people would love to try weight training, they just don’t know where to start.

Today on Tone and Tighten I wanted to share one of my favorite total-body workouts that you can do at home with just a pair of dumbbells.

Want to start feeling more comfortable in the gym? We’ve all been a beginner at some point. Don’t let it keep you from hitting the gym and getting a good workout.

15-Minute Core Workout With Weights

August 30, 2018

This 15-minute ab workout with weights will take your abs to a whole new level of strength and definition. These are the best dumbbell ab exercises to tone your midsection and tighten up your six-pack. So grab your weights and lets get to work.

15-Minute Core Workout With Weights - 6 of the best dumbbell exercises to tone your abs and tighten your six pack.

15-Minute Core Workout With Weights

  1. Dumbbell Dying Bug – reciprocal limb motion to work all layers of your abs.
  2. Double Leg Raise with Dumbbell Jack – works upper and lower abs.
  3. Accordion Crunch with Military – a great core balance exercise.
  4. Dumbbell Heel Touches – great resisted exercise for the obliques and upper abs.
  5. Dumbbell Pike Crunch – add a new level of difficulty with a dumbbell between your feet.
  6. Side Plank Hip Dip – hold the weight on your lateral hip to add resistance to this oblique motion.

{Please keep reading below for a detailed description of each of these exercises and this workout.}

Are you sick of doing hundreds of sit ups and crunches and not seeing the ab results you desire?

Stop wasting your time and start adding some resistance to your core workouts.

Think about it – when was the last time you did 3 sets of 20 – 30 reps of crunches? I dare say the last core workout you did probably included these types of sets/reps.

Now think about the last time you did some barbell squats. Did you do 3 sets of 30? Absolutely not!

You probably added weight until you could perform 3 sets of 10 reps with a little struggle on numbers 8-10.

So the question needs to be asked – as you’ve been getting stronger and progressing resistance on all your exercises, why haven’t you applied the same principle to your abs/core?!

If you want to see progress and if you want your abs to get stronger and more defined you have to be doing some kind of resisted work… [PERIOD].

That’s why today I wanted to share with you 6 of my favorite dumbbell ab exercises in one amazing core workout with weights to sculpt your midsection and tone up that six pack….
