Five simple bodyweight moves to stay strong after 60, per a geriatric kinesiologist

TL;DR Summary
A geriatric kinesiologist recommends five standing bodyweight exercises for adults over 60 to maintain strength, balance, and bone health: squats/sit-to-stand, wall sits, heel raises with varying stances, single-leg weight shifts, and tandem stance mini-squats. No equipment is required at first, with progressions (e.g., chair behind you, safe supports) to increase challenge as strength improves, helping combat sarcopenia and reduce fall risk.
