Gym Limitations Workouts – Bodyweight, 15 Minute, Core
Stability, Rotation, & Core Endurance
This 15-minute core workout targets stability, rotational strength, and endurance using only bodyweight exercises—ideal for travelers training in a hotel room. With three focused 4-minute AMRAPs, this routine works the abs, obliques, and lower back through a mix of controlled movements and high-tension finishers. It’s the perfect travel-friendly core session to keep your midsection strong, stable, and ready for whatever the road brings.
