Standing workouts aren’t just a more accessible alternative to floor-based sessions; they can be even more effective in some regards, and you can certainly achieve all manner of fitness goals without hitting the deck for your exercises.
“Standing core exercises can be a fantastic way to build real-world strength; the kind that improves balance, posture and how your body moves day to day,” say Cyan Koay and Matt Van Mol, founders of Strong Band, who make resistance bands with "progress lines" on them to help you judge the resistance you’re using and see your progress.
