Are you tired of the same old plank routine but still want to work on strengthening your core? Look no further; we’ve got you covered with a standing workout that will not only switch things up but also make your core muscles work in ways you never imagined. Forget the monotony of planks and dive into this dynamic routine that requires just a single dumbbell or kettlebell.
Standing core exercises offer a refreshing change from the traditional planks. These exercises are more accessible and engaging as they often target multiple muscle groups simultaneously. By incorporating compound movements, you get to challenge various muscles at once, making your workout more efficient and effective. Not to mention, the added bonus of improving your balance, stability, and posture.
When engaging in standing core exercises, it is essential to wear supportive workout shoes to enhance your stability. Plus, when incorporating weights into your routine, like in this workout, proper footwear becomes even more crucial. Dropping a weight is the last thing you want, not only for safety reasons but also to maintain the flow of your workout.
This standing workout consists of three exercises designed to target your core from different angles. We’ve carefully curated this routine to ensure you get the most out of each movement. By swapping out a less effective exercise for a more beneficial one that targets your obliques and overall core, we’ve got your back (and abs) covered.
After completing one round of the workout, take a well-deserved rest of 60-120 seconds before diving back in. Aim to repeat the circuit three more times to fully challenge your core muscles and reap the benefits of this engaging routine. Say goodbye to mundane ab workouts and hello to a fresh perspective on core training that will leave you feeling invigorated and accomplished.
