This workout is perfect for outdoors or indoors – if you are outdoors, find a local high school stadium or even a building with a large flight of stairs (I have a church in my neighborhood that has a great flight of cement stairs I use). If you are indoors, use the stairs in your house, the flight of stairs that leads up to your apartment, or even the stairs in a hotel. There is no excuse to not try this workout!

For this workout, I used a flight of stairs that had 20 stairs. If yours has less stairs (i.e. only 10), double the time or reps of each exercise for a killer workout!

Want to push yourself? I have included challenge exercises to try if you are an experienced stair climber!

Got your tickets? Cuz the gun show is coming to town.

One body part that I get questions about all the time are arms: how to tone them without bulking up, how to get rid of arm flab, how to get muscle definition, etc.
 
Well, you have come to the right place – I have the perfect workout that you can do at home or at the gym; all you need is a set of dumbbells.

Looking for a great way to intensify your ab workouts and take your core to the next level? There are two sure-fire ways to do it…

Try some new exercises and add weight!

All-too-often we think “ab workouts” need to entail a million sit ups and crunches to yield toned and fit results. Not true!

I encourage clients and patients all the time to get up off the floor and try something new. It’s actually a more functional way to train your core, can be easier on your back and neck, and yield amazing results.

Today I’m sharing with you eight of my favorite standing abs exercises compiled in one awesome core workout you can do right from home.

All you need for this workout is one dumbbell (or any type of resistance – even a big water bottle would do!) and you will be feeling this in no time!

No weights at home or weights too difficult? No problem – just do it without the weight. I’ve got beginner as well as advanced versions of each exercise demonstrated in the video below.

Bonus: NO CRUNCHES REQUIRED! You will be standing the entire workout!
