Stand Up for a Strong Core

By The FIRM Master Instructor Susan Barnes
 
You don’t have to lay on the floor to work your core! Do this standing core workout routine by itself after a short warm up, or add it to the end of another workout to cool down and work your core at the same time. Want more of a challenge? Intermediate and advanced exercisers can add a set of 3-, 5-, or 8-pound dumbbells.
 
Be sure to stretch when you’re done — a foam roller is especially great after a tough abs session!
