10-Minute Standing Abs Workout To Melt That Muffin Top in a Flash

This 10-minute standing abs workout is great for working on your belly and strengthening your core. The routine can be done anywhere and doesn’t require equipment or floor exercises. 

You don’t have to do crunches or planks if you don’t like them. This standing abs workout will strengthen the abdominal muscles and improve your posture. It also helps improve functional ranges of motion, hip flexor, pelvic floor, transverse abdominal, and rectus abdominis strength, as well as body control.

The workout can challenge your balance and stability because your body has to fight gravity to stay standing. These exercises work the same core muscles as floor work and more. 

So, let’s get started!

This 10-minute standing abs workout will challenge your core as you balance. As a finisher or warm-up, do this standing abs workout twice a week.

High March Pull

The High March Pull targets abs, obliques, and hip flexors. Raising your knees and pulling your arms down strengthens your core and improves balance and coordination. This exercise strengthens abdominal muscles and improves stability.

Punches

Punches are great for core muscle engagement and calorie burning. This exercise activates your obliques and deep abdominal muscles by rotating your torso while punching. It strengthens your arms, shoulders, and back and improves cardiovascular endurance.

Twists

Twists target the oblique muscles and improve core rotation. Twisting your torso strengthens and tones your abdominal muscles while improving flexibility and balance. Twists also improve lower back flexibility and mobility.

Knee Lifts

Knee lifts work the hip flexors and lower abs well. Raise your knees to your chest to strengthen your core. This exercise tones the lower abs and improves balance and coordination.

Burn

The workout burns your abdominal muscles. It means your muscles are challenged. You can strengthen and tone your abs by pushing through the burn during the workout. This improves muscle definition and calorie burn.

Sides

For a toned midsection and no muffin top, engage the sides, or oblique muscles. Side bends and side planks strengthen the obliques, giving you a slimmer waistline and better posture.

These exercises will strengthen, stabilize, and stretch your core while targeting your standing abs. Keep proper form and gradually increase intensity.

Stay consistent and dedicated to get a strong and sculpted midsection.

This all-in-one 55-minute full body workout is designed specifically for women over 50 to build muscle strength, boost metabolism, improve heart health, and stay mobile and pain-free as you age. Suitable for beginners and seniors!

What’s Included:
– 30-Minute Full Body Strength Training (with dumbbells)
– 15-Minute Fat-Burning Walking Workout (Zone 2 cardio)
– 8-Minute Hip Mobility Stretch to improve flexibility and reduce stiffness

Why this workout matters:
After 50, women naturally lose muscle (sarcopenia), experience joint stiffness, and see a decline in bone density. This workout tackles all three areas in one powerful session: strength training to build muscle and support bone health, walking cardio for fat-burning and heart health, and hip mobility to improve flexibility and reduce pain.

Use this routine 2–3x/week to feel energized, confident, and strong in your body—no matter your age.

Q1: Should women over 50 lift weights?
A: Yes! Strength training is the #1 way to fight aging, maintain muscle, protect your bones, and support metabolism after menopause.

Q2: Is walking enough cardio after 50?
A: Yes, when done at the right intensity. This workout includes Zone 2 walking, which boosts fat burning and heart health without stressing the joints.

Q3: Why is hip mobility so important?
A: Tight hips can lead to back pain, poor posture, and difficulty with everyday movement. Just 8 minutes of targeted stretching can reverse years of tension and improve balance and coordination.

Q4: How often should I do strength workouts after 50?
A: Aim for at least 2–3 strength sessions per week. Consistent resistance training helps maintain lean muscle, manage weight, support joint health, and reduce your risk of osteoporosis.

Q5: What if I have joint pain or stiffness?
A: This workout includes a low-impact strength routine and hip mobility stretches to improve flexibility and reduce stiffness—perfect for sore knees, hips, or back. Always start slow, use light weights, and modify movements if needed.
