Three essential moves to stay strong and mobile after 40
TL;DR Summary
A fitness expert recommends a simple three-move circuit for people over 40 to preserve strength and mobility: deep squat, seated overhead press, and fast step-up. Perform 3 rounds of each exercise (10–12 reps for the squat and press; 20–30 seconds per side for the step-up), with 45–60 seconds of rest between rounds. This routine targets hip and ankle mobility, shoulder health, and lower-body power to help prevent falls and maintain independence as we age.
