This STANDING CARDIO ABS routine has everything you need for WEIGHT LOSS, increased fitness, and an improved brain-body connection.  Some over 50 workouts will have you doing cardio on your feet and abs work on the floor, but this one’s all standing and all abs (even while we’re getting our heart rate up)!

THE PERFECT OVER 50 WORKOUT FOR YOUR ABS 

When you think of ab work, do you automatically think of that enviable six pack that you see in magazines and movies? Think again, my friends!  Having strong abs is much more important than vanity.  And it’s even more crucial as we age.

Strong abs provide a secure foundation for all kinds of everyday movements, including bending, lifting, and rotating. Workouts like the one we’re doing today are ideal for increasing ab strength in a fun way. No more endless situps on the floor!  Done consistently, these kinds of exercises can set the stage for aging in the most healthy (and independent) way possible.

DOES THIS AB WORKOUT GET RID OF MENOPAUSAL BELLY FAT?  

My friends, the best way to lose the belly fat you gained from menopause isn’t by doing any workout (for women over 50 or not)! Instead, it’s time to focus on reducing your stress, which – believe it or not, can be from “eating less and moving more.”

The truth is, continuing to do the same workouts you used to do when you were younger and eating too few calories can actually be the cause of belly fat! Now that you’re over 50, your body takes longer to recover from hard workouts and sees undereating as stressful.

So, yes — paired with eating the right number of calories (which might be more than you’re used to!) – this moderate standing abs workout can definitely help you eliminate menopausal belly fat. Because it won’t stress your body!
