You can actually get a great workout without standing up. I know, this sounds like a bad infomercial claim, but don’t be confused: you will be working and you will sweat! 

This video shows you four different exercises on your hands and toes. After getting your heart pumping, you’ll work your shoulders and entire upper body, tone your glutes and outer thighs and finish off with some oblique moves. Don’t forget: holding this plank pose will strengthen your transverse ab muscles and back the entire time! Try to keep your body in a straight line (tush not sagging or raised in a mountain pose). I’ll work on improving that next time myself!

Does a workout that takes you off your feet—at least somewhat, such as yoga, Pilates or floor work—seem more or less appealing to you than standing exercise?
