Rise and Align: 4 Morning Exercises to Reclaim Posture After 60

As posture tends to decline after age 60, experts suggest a four-move morning routine that strengthens the upper back, glutes, and core—addressing the muscles that floor stretches leave behind. The routines include Wall Angels to restore spinal/shoulder alignment, Glute Bridges to stabilize the pelvis and reduce lower-back strain, Standing Band Pull-Aparts to strengthen the upper back and rear shoulders, and Farmer’s Carry to train upright carriage. Together, these moves counter forward-dominant patterns and build functional postural strength beyond mobility work.
