I teach people over 50 to be mobile: 3 low-impact moves that build more stability than a 30-minute walk

Senior man doing step ups.

Don't get me wrong, I love walking. I have a little rescue pup who loves nothing more than taking me for a walk, whether it's 6 am or 11 pm, so I spend a lot of time on my feet.

The benefits of walking are well-documented, too: stronger bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles (especially if you enjoy increasing your pace or intensity through power walking, hiking, or rucking); a higher resting metabolism, decreased sedentary time, and a little boost in mobility. It's also a great form of aerobic exercise for building a stronger heart and lungs.
