Are you looking to shrink your waistline and improve your core strength at 50? Look no further! Fitness pro Garrett Van Auken, a certified personal trainer at Life Time Brookfield, has shared six core exercises that are perfect for people 50 and older. These exercises don’t require any fancy equipment and can be done right at home.
The first exercise is the plank, which engages the entire core and is great for tightening the waistline. Next up is the Russian Twist, which works the obliques and helps tone those “love handles.” Dead Bugs are another fantastic exercise for strengthening the deeper muscles of the core and improving posture. Leg Raises target the lower abs and help achieve a slimmer waistline by pulling up the pelvis. Side Planks are excellent for working the obliques and improving stability. Lastly, Bird Dogs also strengthen the core muscles and help improve posture and stability.
Combine these core exercises with regular strength training, a healthy diet, and cardiovascular workouts to achieve your fitness goals. So why wait? Start incorporating these exercises into your routine and watch as your core strength improves and your waistline shrinks. Get started today and take control of your fitness journey at 50!
