Six-Move Bench Core Workout for a Stronger, More Stable Midsection

A midlife weight-loss coach shares a six-move bench routine that targets the entire core—including the deep abdominal muscles—for a session that can be completed in under 20 minutes. The program emphasizes controlled form over speed to boost posture, lower-back support, and injury prevention, using moves such as single-leg bicycle crunch, reverse crunch, double-leg lift crunch, full-body crunch, toe tap, and legs-down crunch.
