Without Using the Floor
Ever found yourself looking in the mirror wishing you had sculpted abs?
You are not alone. It is one of the top goals for people beginning fitness programs, doing body part specific training and even dieting.
But there are some common obstacles you might be facing like:
- Recovering from an injury
- Back trouble
- Coming back from a pregnancy
- Never exercising before and more…
On a personal note, this is one of the most common questions I get when training my clients.
Just last week I had a female client recovering from a recent pregnancy ask me
“How can I work on my abs? Especially if I can’t do a sit up or even get down on the floor?”
What a great question.
Do you know strengthening your core is not only a great goal for how you want to look, it is also critical to your health?
A strong core:
- protects your back from injury
- Increases balance and stability
- Helps with everyday tasks
- Creates good posture
- And the list goes on…
So to help my client and you all who might have the same concerns, here are 5 ways to train your core without ever doing a single sit-up or crunch!
5 Ways to Train Your Core Without Ever Using the Floor
1- Mountain Climbers
2- Weighted Standing Oblique Crunches

As you can see there are many different ways to strengthen your core, work those abs and boost your health.
Everyone can find an option that fits their fitness level and body’s ability.
