Standing ab workouts are becoming increasingly popular, with some videos even reaching over 30 million views. These exercises are crafted to engage your core muscles without requiring you to lie down — this makes them the ideal workout for taking your ab routine outdoors or when floor space is limited at the gym. Plus, the fact you don’t need to lie down makes the workouts more accessible for those with mobility issues, or pregnant women, who might be looking for a standing workout.
