Standing ab exercise to build core strength!

It’s possible ✅

And actually working your core in a standing position can be beneficial to transfer over to everyday activities too ☝🏽

This is essentially a standing version of the common “bicycle” move on the ground where you take your elbow to your opposite knee.

Fist start bodyweight to make sure you have the strength, coordination and balance to complete at least 20 alternating reps before adding weight ✅

When adding weight, start light as the weights will likely be more taxing to your arms as you hold them up 💪🏽

Set a timer for 30-60 seconds and complete as many as you comfortably can ⏱️

You can add this before or after a walk, at the end of a workout, or anytime through the day that you think about it

The most important part is you don’t twist your shoulders or hunch your back into a crunching position. Make sure your body stays in control ☝🏽

If you’re looking for more ways to build strength without getting up and down from the floor- the Arthritis Adventure Blueprint shows you how to progress arthritis friendly movements to help you build strength in the right areas

No more trying to follow workouts that you have to modify because they are getting up and down from the floor 🙌🏼
