Ab workouts can freak some of us out — maybe because we automatically think they’re going to include 100 crunches (like I crazily tried every day for a week) or lots of planking. That’s why standing ab workouts, like this one, are great, because they don't include any of these moves, but still target your deep abdominal muscles for a strong core, as well as aiding with balance.
That being said, although the moves in this standing ab workout are beginner-friendly, it includes a dumbbell for some extra resistance to make things a little more challenging, as opposed to just using your bodyweight. However, you could always do it without one, or try this 6-move, no equipment standing ab workout instead.
