A trainer endorses five standing moves—sit-to-stand squats, split squats, step-ups, wall sits, and reverse lunges—to restore quad strength and improve balance for those over 60, arguing that functional, multi-joint standing exercises are more effective for daily movement than leg-extension machines; includes setup, form cues, and rep recommendations.
This standing ab workout offers a refreshing alternative to traditional floor-based exercises, targeting the entire core while also engaging glutes, shoulders, and lat muscles. With just four exercises and a dumbbell, kettlebell, or water bottle, this routine takes only 15 minutes to complete and can be easily incorporated into a busy schedule. The exercises include dumbbell oblique crunches, dumbbell overhead swing with a knee drive, dumbbell raise into a squat, and dumbbell twists. It is recommended to avoid wearing running shoes and to choose a medium weight for optimal results.
