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!

Core sliders (also referred to as exercise gliders) are one of my favorite pieces of equipment.

They’re lightweight, portable, inexpensive, and there’s SO MUCH you can do with them.

By adding the components of lateral motion with resistance (friction) you can actually work your muscles harder, kick on more muscle groups, and maximize your workout efficiency.

Today I’m sharing 7 of my favorite slider exercises to tone and strengthen your core in one amazing workout you can do at home in 15 minutes or less. 

This is a great “finishing” routine to work some abs into your normal mix or a great “stand-alone” workout that can be done if you’re maybe crunched for time.

So grab your slider discs, and let’s get to work!…
