Lying, sitting, or kneeling during ab workouts isn’t for everyone — it might be injury, mobility, or health-related, or you might simply prefer exercising standing. Whatever the reason, this standing abs routine removes the fuss of getting onto the floor and just requires one of the best adjustable dumbbells. If you have a resistance band, bonus, but if you don’t, I guarantee you a fantastic core-torching routine regardless.
One reminder I always give to clients, as a personal trainer, is to engage your core properly, and to practice this a few times during the warm-up, either performing the same moves with your bodyweight or using a light weight first to engage the muscles and joints before adding load. Once you’re ready, follow along with these moves below, plus I include a five-move abs workout to try in your own time.
