Squeezing in a fast workout usually means little or no time for your core. But with this challenging core workout regimen, you'll train your torso with every exercise, for a stronger six-pack and a sturdier spine.

The Exercises

Pullup with Leg Raise

Grab a pullup bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly more than shoulder-width apart. Cross your ankles and bend your knees until your feet are behind you. Pull your chest to the bar. Using your abs and hip flexors, pull your knees up and in toward your chest. Lower yourself. Do four to six reps.

Lateral Raise with Rotation

Stand holding a pair of dumbbells at your sides. With your arms slightly bent at the elbows, raise the weights up until your arms are parallel to the floor. Rotate your torso as far as possible to one side. Rotate back to the center, and lower your arms. Repeat to the opposite side. That's one rep. Do six.
