No, not crunches: These 4 standing ab exercises from Jennifer Aniston’s PT build real core strength and stability

A woman with strong ab muscles.

If you’re bored with crunches, you’ve come to the right place. The good news is, they aren’t the be-all and end-all when it comes to working your abdominal muscles. In fact, there are plenty of other exercises that work more of the deep stabilizer muscles that make up your core.

Dani Coleman, Jennifer Aniston’s Pvolve trainer, shared four functional exercises that work more of the 35 muscles in your core. Far from just being the outer six-pack muscles, your core muscles work to stabilize your torso, protect your spine, and enable you to twist from side to side. All you’ll need for the workout is one of the best adjustable dumbbells and an exercise mat, as you’ll do one of the exercises on the floor.
