Best Standing Core Exercises For Women Over 40

If you want to have a stronger and tighter-looking core but don't love getting on the floor and doing crunches, this blog post is for you!

Toning your muscles while in a standing position not only works your abs, but it also engages other muscles too. For example, standing ab exercises often put your balance and stability to the test, as your body naturally fights against gravity to maintain the upright position. These exercises hit all the same core muscles that floor work does…and then some!

Why do we need to work on our core? The benefits of having a strong core include injury prevention, reduction of back pain, improved lifting mechanics, balance, stability, and posture. Stability, especially, is vital in our day-to-day activities.

Standing core exercises are also a good option if you are a beginner who is just getting started and finds getting up and down off the floor difficult, or if you are recovering from an injury and need to ease into floor core exercises.

Here is a great standing fore workout. I also show some of the movements in a chair. This is an ideal workout for women over 40!!
