8-Minute Bed-Based Core Routine for 60+ Belly Flattening

The article notes studies linking trunk endurance and hip strength to chronic back pain in older adults, emphasizes motor-control and endurance over high intensity, and provides step-by-step form and sets/reps to perform at home, positioning these moves as a gentle alternative or complement to traditional physical therapy.
