Thought that all your core exercises have to take place either on the floor in the supine position? Think again. Fitness trainer, Roxanne Russell, says that if you want to build serious core strength and move your body better, with less pain, then you should start with this upright kettlebell workout.
“Unlike crunches, standing ab work trains your core the way it’s meant to work!” she writes on her post. What she means by this is that the exercises will often move your body through a greater range of motion, rather than just one fixed position, or just forwards and backwards, like when you crunch. This extra challenge to balance and stability helps us move more efficiently in daily life while keeping our spine protected – the core’s real purpose.
