Tired of crunches? A fitness trainer recommends these five standing exercises for better core strength and stability

The article from MSN discusses alternative exercises to traditional crunches for enhancing core strength and stability, as recommended by fitness trainer Don Saladino. Instead of crunches, which can be repetitive and potentially harmful to the spine, Saladino suggests five standing exercises: 1) Pallof Press - where resistance is used to challenge the core while standing, 2) Farmer's Carry - walking while carrying heavy weights to engage the core for balance, 3) Suitcase Carry - similar to Farmer's Carry but with weight in only one hand, increasing the challenge to the obliques, 4) Chops - a dynamic movement involving lifting and lowering weights diagonally across the body, and 5) Lifts - the opposite of chops, moving weights from low to high. These exercises not only work on the core but also improve overall body stability and functional strength, making them a versatile addition to any fitness routine.
