committing core exercises in a standing position often requires stability and a higher balance than floor exercises. This creates a challenge for the deep core muscle group, forcing you to tighten your abs, while controlling your spine and hips well, almost like the movements in daily life.
These exercises also help reduce pressure on the lower back and knee joints, suitable for many people over the age of 50.
Standing belly curls
This move affects the subrential and transverse abdominal muscles, improving torsion and shaping the waist.
Start in a standing position with your hands behind your head. Raise your knee as you rotate your torso and bring your right elbow towards it. Continue to switch sides and repeat the sequence. Do 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps on each side.
Standing bent to one side with the dumbbells
This exercise targets the intercostal muscles and helps tone the waist, while improving spinal mobility.
Stand up straight, holding the dumbbells in your left hand. Slowly bend your waist to the left side, while stretching your Lariform muscles while performing this pose. Return to a standing position. Do 2-3 sets of 10-12 reps on each side.
