What other standing weighted ab exercise are there besides good mornings?

Right now all I can do right now is good mornings, can you think of anything else?

Yes. Get a medicine ball, preferably a core ball if they have them. Stand up, raise one leg up to 90 degrees in front of you. Bring the ball overhead and slowly cross it down to that knee, keeping your balance. 10 each side. Progression: cross it down to the floor with a side lunge of the side leg to improve core strength and flexibilty too.So you wobble, big deal, you will improve.

get a lighter ball, One leg up again. lightly toss the ball with the opposite hand, contracting your abs with each catch. You may also toss the ball over to the other hand.

Get a pretty heavy ball. Bring it up over your head. Now move forward into a walking lunge and slam that MF ball down with both hands as hard as you can. On the slamdown get those abs TIGHT, man. get mad. Make noise with this one. make people look. Do about 15-20 of these walking slammers. oh, man. If you are not breathing heavy when you are done with one set, you are not mad enough. DO IT AGAIN!

You can also throw the med ball against a wall, straight on for beginners, tightening abs with the catch or if you are more advanced, stand sideways to th wall. bend down touch the ball to the ground, then pass it with a rotational movement to the wall, catch it on the rebound, rotate back down to the floor starting and ending in the same squat position. At the end of each five do a little half jump around to do the other side. You have got to keep your abs pulled in when you do this and posture nice, okay?
