Here, Sarah Lindsay of Roar Fitness—aka Caroline Flack's personal trainer and the master behind WH Deputy Editor Victoria Joy's amazing body transformation—shares her favourite weighted core exercises to tone and build muscle. They're suitable for any woman looking to use weights—so what are you waiting for?

Weights have been shown to increase muscle mass and even boost your resting metabolic rate for up to 38 hours after your session, meaning you burn more fat. Sound good?

In this video Lindsay demonstrates a core weights circuit, performing each of the exercises in the set back-to-back.

Want to give this a go?

Do three sets of 10 reps of the first circuit using a very light weight to warm up, increasing the weight until you feel your heart rate and body temperature go up.
