Eight-Minute Standing Routine Tightens the Core After 55
An expert shares an eight‑minute standing routine designed to firm the midsection after age 55, addressing age-related muscle loss, hormonal shifts, and posture. The program emphasizes upright, functional core work rather than floor‑based crunches and includes standing torso rotations (2 sets of 12–15 reps per side), knee lifts (2x10–12 per leg), side bends (2x10–12 per side), cross‑body punches (2x20), and marching (2x20 steps), all aimed at improving core stability and posture.
