If you\u2019ve ever wondered how Hollywood\u2019s A-list keeps their core strong, Simone De La Rue<\/a> may have the answer. The celebrity trainer behind Body By Simone<\/a> has worked with everyone from Sandra Bullock, Taylor Swift and Jennifer Garner to models including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Gigi Hadid, building a reputation for dance-inspired workouts<\/a> that combine strength<\/a>, conditioning and plenty of ab work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, De La Rue has revealed the four-move core workout she uses with all of her clients \u2013 and, despite its celebrity seal of approval, you don\u2019t need a Hollywood schedule (or a budget-blowing personal trainer) to try it. Designed to challenge your core through a combination of stability, strength and controlled movement, these are the exercises worth adding to your own routine.<\/p>\n
