There’s nothing wrong with the classic core exercises we all know. Sit-ups, planks and crunches have their place. But they’re not for everyone. Maybe they put too much strain on your neck or back, or maybe you simply find them repetitive and dull. If that sounds familiar, we’ve got an alternative: seven standing ab exercises that challenge your core without the floor work.
Standing up for your ab workout doesn’t mean taking it easy. When you train on your feet, your core has to work hard to stabilize your body and maintain balance. That means you’re not just strengthening your abs but also engaging deeper stabilizing muscles that improve posture and support how your core helps you with everyday tasks.
