No, not sit-ups! This 12-minute standing ab workout blasts your core without putting pressure on your spine

A woman's abs.

Far from being an easy alternative, standing ab workouts are a great way to challenge your core, without putting any pressure on your spine. If you’re unable to lie down on your back due to an injury or pregnancy, or you’re just looking for a way to mix up your ab workouts, I’ve got you covered.

The 12-minute standing ab workout below requires zero additional equipment, so you can set your best adjustable dumbbells to one side for this one. It’s a great workout to slot into your routine if you’re travelling, or short on space in the gym. It’s also low-impact, so it will be suitable for most individuals and won’t wake up your household if you’re slotting this in first thing.
