Our fitness goals and priorities usually change as we get older, and as a certified personal trainer, I start to see that shift happen as my clients near 60. However, focusing on your strength and stability now can safeguard your health and independence in your senior years.
The one exercise I give almost every client — no matter their age — is the goblet squat. While most think of it as a lower-body move, it’s actually a full-body compound exercise that can strengthen your core and upper body, improve your stability, and even impact your balance. These crucial aspects of health and fitness become even more important in your senior years.
