13 Minute Yoga Sequence for Summer-Ready Abs (Video)

This 13-minute yoga sequence is all about the core!
 
A strong core means great looking abs and a healthy spine. Many of us seek strong, defined abs, but traditional crunches and other old-school techniques only focus on certain abdominal muscles, which means that the rest are being neglected.
 
Therefore, it is important to practice a variety of different core workouts to ensure you’re giving all your abdominal muscles the love and strengthening they deserve! A strong core also translates to a strong and healthy spine, because a strong core will support your spine in yoga and other physical fitness exercises.
