Fitness can be the solution to many of the body’s ailments. We all know exercising regularly is one of the best things we can do to maintain health and ward off disease. But, let’s be honest, sometimes exercise is boring and, ouch!, it hurts to strengthen those muscles, especially the core.
You can spice up your routine and forget the pain using the TikTok challenges, below. Some ways are to add one to the end of your usual workout, do as many as you can one after another or build up to the more taxing routines.
Note: the videos featured below aren’t necessarily by the creators of the original challenges.
