Ten standing minutes of core work with light dumbbells: side bends, twists, punches and marches, no floor needed.
Heather's standing-only abs session uses light dumbbells for extra resistance across one circuit of 40 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest, repeated twice. It moves through side bends and twists, squat and cross punches, marches with kicks, sumo ankle reaches and standing twists. Do it on its own or add it to another workout; it runs about 11 minutes.

Equipment setup
Who Is It For?
Anyone who wants core work without getting on the floor and has a pair of light dumbbells at home.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal if you want heavy lifting or have back pain that flares with twisting, as the moves involve rotation and side bends.
Key Benefits
Works the abs and obliques standing up, and the light dumbbells add resistance in a short session that is easy to add to another workout.
Things to Keep in Mind
Use light weights, move with control through twists and side bends, and ease off if your lower back feels strained.
