Workouts are fun when they start and end to the beats of Beyoncé, include props like ballet barres, balls and weights, and have instructors that motivate you to reach your highest potential. A class at Physique 57, Mumbai—the international fitness company that has the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Demi Moore and Chrissy Teigen as loyal followers—will have you walking out feeling stronger, fitter and definitely wanting more. The workout’s signature barre-based technique has the perfect blend of cardio, strength training and stretching to help shape up your body, using its own weight to work out every single muscle. You’ll have intense arm strengthening exercises, thigh and seat sequences, killer ab moves and fluid stretches to cinch every inch. Just to know how much fun this workout can be, we got the owner of Physique 57 Mumbai, Mallika Tarkas Parekh, to give you a little taste. Here’s her 10-minute routine that you can try at home to get stronger abs.

Forearm plank, the Physique 57 way

While most might be familiar with the high plank position—in which you get into a push up position—you might not be aware of this one. To get into this position, bend your elbows at 90 degrees, make sure your body is a straight line from head to toe and keep your hips are in line with your shoulders. Amp up your workout by alternating knee bends for 60 seconds while holding the plank. This plank position not only engages your core, but also makes for a great cardio movement.

C-curve

Get flat on your back and make the letter C with your body, such that your shoulders are in line with your knees (place a thick towel or cushion under your lower back for support). Draw your navel to your spine, bracing your abs. Lift and lower arms or hold thighs for 1 minute. This works your entire abdominal wall.

From a kneeling position on the floor, lift your glutes off your heels, tuck, and lift or circle your hips for one minute. Moving your hips works your abs from every direction, giving them a strong, toned dancer look. Pro tip: Play some fun music to make your workout more interesting.

Repeat all three exercises in three sets each with a one-minute break between each set.
