Three simple mobility drills to boost balance and joint health after 60
TL;DR Summary
Sam Hopes' Tom's Guide feature outlines a low‑impact, three‑move routine for people over 60: side leg raises, seated leg openers, and Cossack squats. Each exercise targets hips, glutes, and the core to improve joint health, balance, and stability, with progression options using a resistance band or light dumbbells. The guide emphasizes controlled movement, 3–4 sets of 8–10 reps, proper posture, and caution to stop if pain, making it practical to do at home to maintain mobility with age.
