It’s a common misconception that to target our core muscles the best exercises are those that require us to lie on the floor. While there are some effective moves where we may have to do this— like the deadbug or plank— there are plenty out there that don’t.
Standing exercises are often less favoured to their floor-based counterparts but, not only can they be effective at building enviable abdominals, they can also build a rock-solid core, bettering our posture, balance and boosting big lifts, like the squat or deadlift. Now, doesn't that sound pretty good?
