Four-move resistance-band routine helps seniors boost mobility and daily strength

A four-move resistance-band circuit for seniors aims to improve mobility and functional strength with low impact. The routine starts seated and progresses up the body, using four moves—banded foot activation, seated band pull-apart, shoulder dislocation, and alternating shoulder dislocation—each done for 45 seconds with 15 seconds of rest. The circuit can be performed once for a gentle daily mobility routine or repeated two to three times for a more challenging workout. Begin with a light-to-medium tension band to strengthen stabilizers in the feet, ankles, chest, and shoulders and help reduce fall risk.
