You can get a stronger center without unfurling an exercise mat. In fact, the standing abdominals routine below hits all of the muscles that make up your core, from your abs to your hips, your pelvis to your lower back.

Check out the four exercises in our handy video and pin-able graphic. You can also find how-tos for each move here. Just complete three or four sets of each exercise as instructed, resting for 30 seconds between sets, two or three times a week. Flat belly, here you come!
