The good news is, you don’t need a gym membership or fancy equipment to strengthen these muscle groups. In fact, these eight standing core exercises can be done anywhere, anytime. All you need is a 5 pound dumbbell or anything you can comfortably hold in your hand such as a bottle of water, canned vegetable, etc.
