Sometimes, factors like age, past injury, or personal comfort can prevent my personal training clients from getting onto the floor for traditional core exercises. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to build strength in the core while staying upright.
In fact, incorporating standing core exercises into your routine is important even if you are able to do moves like sit-ups, crunches, or planks. Since we don’t do a lot of everyday movement while lying down, training the abs while standing builds functional strength that translates into easier walks, faster runs, steadier squats, and a more stable body overall.
