‘This standing abs sequence challenges your core through rotation, balance, and controlled strength’ — and it's demanding, effective and easy to do at home, according to a personal trainer

Core muscle workout.

Building and maintaining a strong core requires consistent effort, much like caring for a plant. The ab muscles, commonly known as the six-pack, often dominate conversations around core training. But for strength that supports balance, movement and everyday life, this all-standing routine offers a more well-rounded approach.

Behind this workout are two certified personal trainers from Eden Health Club. Felicia Hernandez, a Certified Personal Trainer (NASM) and community engagement lead, and Marcela Cmarkova, a fitness instructor, designed the routine to target the core in a functional and accessible way.
