Standing workouts have been a favorite around here for years, and for good reason! Here's one of my favorite No Floor Core exercises. It works your entire core, especially the lower belly which is a problem area for so many of us. Do this move for one minute at a time and you will see and feel the results!

Standing workouts seem to be easier for many, especially as we get older, but the great news is they're still just as effective! Here are a 3 reasons I love doing a full "No Floor" workout:
  1. You can do them anywhere, anytime! You can complete most standing workouts with just a few feet around you, which makes these workouts GREAT for this busy time of the year. Get your standing workout on in your living room, the kitchen, bedroom or even hotel room! 
  2. Have you ever had a really sore neck the day after doing some core work on the floor? Standing workouts will help prevent that unwanted neck, shoulder and back pain! While standing you are able to keep your spine in line throughout, which is SO important.... your spine is your lifeline!!
  3. Exercising while standing could actually work more muscles than on the floor! The reason? When you are standing your core is forced to stabilize your whole body, engaging more muscles.

This standing move is part of my NEW 10-Minute No Floor Core Workout, available in my app! If you're a member login here to do the full workout! And if you aren't, tap here to start a free trial! Just 10-minutes will get your blood pumping, boost your mood, and flatten your belly!


Let's live FIT, HAPPY and HEALTHY - together!

No Floor Core Exercise Transcript:

Welcome to your no floor core, thats right you don't have to get down on the ground to do our ab core workout. So let's get started. The first exercise is just to lift the knee towards the chest, but use your lower abdominals, okay? When you're really tightening and engaging your abs you'll really start to feel this in the lower part of your tummy, the area we all need extra help, lower abs, below the belly button. Make sure when you're doing this your tightening up, okay, this whole thing feels like a corset, like you're tightening that corset up okay. Tighten it up, core, that's it. Now let's add to the next level. The elbows go back, and it's all about those abs, it takes balance, core workout, just to get that knee up, yes the other leg is working out too. Good okay, keep moving that's the whole workout, that core workout. We got two more, that's it. Woo. You did great with a fabulous workout.
