7-Minute Morning Standing Routine for Belly Pooch After 50
Eat This Not That••health
Key Points:
- Standing exercises are effective for tightening the midsection after age 50 by boosting functional strength, core stability, mobility, posture, and balance, while engaging more muscle groups than seated workouts.
- A quick, seven-minute morning routine featuring dynamic standing moves like squats, jumping jacks, and knee-to-elbow crunches can help reduce belly fat and improve overall fitness without requiring floor work.
- Morning exercise is particularly beneficial because higher cortisol levels aid fat mobilization, reduced inflammation allows easier core engagement, and improved insulin sensitivity supports fat loss.
- Standing core exercises engage stabilizer muscles and challenge balance in a way that mimics daily activities, promoting functional strength and power, while floor exercises are better for foundational core strength.
