This fun barefoot workout is simple – there are only four exercises – but the work is complex – every exercise recruits multiple muscle groups while challenging your core stabilizers. This is how we’re working on fall prevention AND bone health in just 25 minutes.
Functional fitness like this is SO important for women over 50! The time to improve your balance, build muscle tone, strengthen your core and increase bone density is NOW (before we need it).
Here’s what this STRENGTH TRAINING workout, done regularly, can do for YOU:
? Improve coordination in your feet and ankles
? Build core strength for balance
? Help prevent falls
? BONUS! – shape your body
This Thorough Thursday routine has NO floor work and includes a warm up and cool down.
