10 Min STANDING ABS WORKOUT at Home | Core Strength No Equipment

This standing abs workout will target your entire core including back and hips. There will also be a lot of balance involved so will use core even though you may not feel it, this will increase your core strength.

The most important part of this is to try to LIFT and LOWER WITH CONTROL (apart from last minute exercise!) Try and think about your core muscles lifting your leg only without any momentum of swinging or arms or hips.

If straight leg is too challenging in some of these movements, simply change to lifting the knee as you will still use the core to do the work!

When lifting, try to keep torso as upright as possible!

Simply follow along for 50 seconds of work, 10 seconds rest to get ready for next exercise!

These are not only great for the abs but as you get older you have to be mindful of balance...so you don't fall and these excercises address that as well.

Another great little workout I have just found - LOVE doing abs standing up as so many added benefits. I am determined to one day be able to lift my leg straight up with the grace and control of Caroline.

This works for me as the floor exercises stress out my neck. I'm 59 and have a bit of deviation in my spine, but I keep in shape by exercising. This is so this is much appreciated. Thank you!

Ive been working out for 2 months and my body is really changing!! I found your channel recently and I love it. I hope to have your muscles one day 🙈🙈 thank you for the amazing workouts. Much love and respect 🥰🥰

I love how she laughs when I'm literally crying, so cute

I came from Linda Sun (she added this workout to her playlist) and this workout is amazing! Definitely can feel my core

[FlossontheMill]

This was a great addition to my rest day sessions. I like balances - comes from my days of doing yoga! So to add abs and balance together really made me concentrate on my form. Thank you, I will definitely be doing this on a regular basis when I just want a quick add on for abs 👍🏻🙂

[andreahammond]

I really felt this in my legs. Thanks Caroline!

[Pixellava]

I get vertigo now and then. This is my go-to abs workout for when I can’t do floor work. Thank you!

[slundgr]

Love this video. Today was the first time I tried this workout, and I could really tell it involves a lot of balance, especially since I've had surgery on my right ankle. I think it also exposes the muscle imbalances.

[ceemitchie]

Balance. Stability. Core muscles to lift the legs. Just did this. Thanks as always Caroline!🤓👌

[anitamontanaro]

Doing this on a rest day because I cannot stop and your workouts MAKE ME (and the cat) FEEL GOOD

[zephyronfire]

Caroline I just found this video & oh my...I certainly noticed that I was weak in the leg ligaments just at juncture of legs & hips, so I can imagine that this will strengthen that area as well as the core! *I'm 58 femaile just getting back into targeted exercise...wondering if doing this 3X per week would be enough to see the belly tone up (I'm doing keto as well). -Maybe someone is on board here who does this 3X per week and can share their thoughts/experiences. -I truly appreciated when you would pause in your videos with such a cute expression when it was intense and believe me, I thought it was only 'me' feeling that until you gave that cute look with your eyes. TY for that, as it helped me to know that it's not just my own ligament weakness and that this was truly hard work! Hugs from Canada! :)

[lisachubb]

I love all your workouts.
Can definitely feel it in my legs.

[haledragon]

Everything you do rocks, also the type of encouragement you give is totally awesome!

[vincenzoleo]

Oh, Caroline, these never get old! I loved to exercise with this video from your early days. Thank you, you are ever so creative

[sporti]

Hey, Caroline, I'm always more than thrilled with your videos because they're extremely well prepared and presented both professionally and personally! In this video, however, I would like to point out that the leg lift primarily uses the hip flexor muscles and the ABs are only involved incidentally. At this point I instead bent my legs up to waist height and then lowered them again - alternating legs so that you always have to find balance. The lower abdominal muscles are more active here than in the exercise you presented.

[yvonnesantiago]

Carolina, thank you for this workout. I recently had a fall which resulted in fracturing my right wrist & dislocating my right shoulder, as you can imagine no working out. So glad I found this workout, its keeping me moving and positive. Next week I will be starting one of your lower body workouts. Again, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

[elizabethwood]

Hi Caroline, been doing your workouts for close to 4 weeks. I like everything upper body/shoulders/arms, the Tricepts etc, the Isometric one, standing abs with the dumbbells and the one without, upper ab exercises are easier than the lower ones but I do as best as I can. I am 70 next month and have exercised since January 1993. You are in amazing condition!

[anitamontanaro]

No se quien le puede poner un pulgar para abajo a esto que es espectacular. Thanks Caroline!
