4 Daily Exercises That Build Full-Body Strength Better Than Gym Workouts After 60

1 week ago 14

Most people over 60 have spent decades being told to take it easy, and they’ve taken that advice to heart. So when they finally decide to build some strength at home, they reach for exercises that are far too gentle to do anything at all.

After almost 40 years as a personal trainer, and the last 20 running TRAINFITNESS, I’ve worked with thousands of people in exactly this position. They want to get stronger but can’t or won’t go to the gym. Here’s the good news: you don’t need to. Four well-chosen exercises, done at home, can rebuild full-body strength faster than most people expect.

All you need is a sturdy chair, a wall, and about a square yard of floor space. These four exercises can help you rebuild real strength without ever stepping foot in a gym.
