4 standing abs exercises for a stronger core 💪🏽

Stronger core without the floor! ✅

If it hurts or if it’s difficult to get down to the floor- there are many different movements to help you build your core muscles 💪🏽

Here are a few examples:

1️⃣ Chair plank with March: the lower the surface the harder this will be. Control your body as you march, keeping your torso still as you move your legs.

2️⃣ Standing Oblique Crunch: this one tests balance and core control. Bring your knee up and out to the side as you bring the same elbow down as close as you can without hunching over. Remain up tall.

3️⃣ Press outs: hold onto a weight with your feet slightly apart and hips tucked slightly underneath to activate the core. Keep your torso stationary as you press the weight out in front.

4️⃣ Row the Boat Balance: Put your feet as close as you can get them, one foot in front of the other. Widen your stance if you need more stability. WITHOUT twisting, rotate the weight side to side keeping your chest forward

Moving your body in new ways challenges balance and strength. The key is making sure you have the correct form, especially during standing core movements ☝🏽

Focus on quality over quantity ✅

Looking to work on it, as a progression to your balance & walking exercises. Like your commentaries, as to why & how for each movement in reaching the goal of walking normally, & managing your mobility issues that impede on your quality of life.

Is this exercise safe to do with back arthritis? I need to gain strength in my core without tormenting the arthritis in my lower back

[susanneanderson]

Alyssa, thank you. I’m definitely going to try these. What kind of shoes are you wearing? I need to find some with better stability.
