I’m back with this week’s Workout Wednesday! This time it’s a 15 minute ab workout that will whip your core into shape.

This ab workout will help you tone up AND build strength. Core work is very important to your overall health, as it helps improve your posture and can correct strength imbalances that contribute to back pain.
