5 Core Exercises for Men Over 60 : Senior Fitness

A strong, defined core provides more than just a poolside fashion accessory. Strengthening the 29 muscles of your core comprised of your stomach, back, hips and pelvis improves all functional movement, increases balance and stability, recovers posture and reduces the risk of falling. Without a strong core, other muscles pick up the slack to accomplish everyday movements, which contributes to injuries and reduces overall functionality. Especially for seniors, core exercises should strengthen muscles, and develop coordination.
