Dumbbell Side Bend
Equipment used: Single medium-weight dumbbell.
Begin with standing on your feet hip-width apart and in your right hand, grab a dumbbell with your palm facing towards the torso. Keep your back straight. Take a few breaths in so your core gets activated. Then bend towards the side at the waist, as far as possible from the body. Hold for 1 second and return to the beginning position for one rep. For one set workout, at least 12 to 20 reps.
Useful tip
Be careful while carrying the weight you are picking up; it must not be unbearable; it should be reasonable enough to lift. Carrying moderate weights can help you focus on totally keeping your abs tight for the ultimate results while exercising, and be careful to keep it at a slow pace. An actual six-pack is not the lifting part; it’s the burning sensation you experience all along during a workout.

Useful tips
Hold and stretch your body as much as you can and repeat the stages back to back.
Final thoughts
We have shared some core workouts that you can do without using the equipment. Each one of us has an altogether different body shape, weight, and metabolism. Not all the workouts are for everyone, but these are few chosen ones that anyone can exercise at home. Though the process will not happen overnight, you have to put sincere efforts and give your workout routine time.
However, these ab workouts can transform your body in an excellent way for sure. Hardstyle plank, dead bug, hollow extension -o cannonball, dumbbell side blend, barbell back squat, and bird dog are the best chest workouts for creating a strong upper body and the best back exercises for a strong V-shaped torso. The best part of these workout steps is that you do not have to use any equipment, yet you will acquire a six-pack if you do these diligently.
