Six-Minute Morning Routine to Rebuild Muscle After 55
TL;DR Summary
An expert-recommended six-minute, no-equipment morning routine for people 55 and up targets key muscle groups through three short moves: Sit-to-Stand Squats (40s), Incline Push-Ups (40s), and Reverse Lunges (40s), performed as a single circuit with 20 seconds of rest between moves. No weights are required (light dumbbells optional); complete one circuit or repeat for more volume. Warm up lightly, focus on full range of motion and steady tempo, and pair with protein after exercise. Consistency and gradual progression are emphasized to improve strength, balance, and daily independence.
