The Standing Abs Workout for a Stronger Core

Standing abs exercises offer plenty of bonus benefits—you'll engage more muscles at once, improve your postural support, and burn more calories than most traditional floor exercises. Plus, you don't need any equipment or a lot of space to do these standing exercises for lower abs, upper abs, obliques, and every other inch of your core. Try them at home, in your hotel room, or at the gym to chisel your stomach without lying on any dirty floors.

How it works: Do 3 sets of the recommended number of reps for each exercise below. For best results, do this routine after your regular strength or cardio session up to four days a week.
