What if I told you that you don't need sit-ups, crunches or other floor exercises to build a stronger core? I'm not a fan of floor-based moves because I find them uncomfortable for my lower back, so if a workout can avoid them, it's a win in my book.

And that's the case with this short standing abs routine. All you need is one of the best yoga mats, 15 minutes and a bit of space to get started. The session, developed by fitness duo SquatCouple, might be short but it's still impressively effective.
