10 Min Standing Abs with Weight is quick functional core workout from Heather Robertson. I found it very enjoyable and a great add on after an upper body strength workout.

This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. My reviews are becoming redundant.
