Hello Mighty Family! A strong core is important for posture, stability, and back pain. It also helps reduce your risk of falling and makes moving through daily tasks easier! These at home, standing exercises strengthen the entire core and incorporate additional balance movements to help you feel your best! There are no shoes required, but you can add in a light set of weights for an extra challenge!

Hi just came across your video. It looks like some exercises that I can try. I have back problems and need to strengthen my core without being on the floor. They look easy but I tried a couple and they are hard but not overwhelming. Thank you. 😁😁👍👍

How do you use (squeeze) your core to actually benefit from core workouts? I’ve never really understood it

@mighty_health 3 ай бұрын

Proper core engagement involves tucking your pelvis under your spine slightly for a straight back, then as you take a deep breathe and exhale, draw your belly button to your spine. So think of it as instead of "flexing" and pushing the belly button outward, you are more so drawing the belly button in and pushing down.

Hi Lolita! Yes! Our workouts were created with ages 50+ in mind! Feel free to modify as needed to make it work for you.

I’m not certain these exercises are too practical for seniors. I have pretty good balance but these seem for the most part not geared for seniors.

Hi Rosa! Thank you for the feedback! We gear our workouts for ages 50+ and make sure they can be modified for any level. Feel free to use a chair, wall, or another steady surface to make the movements more accessible! 🙂

Good content, but I think it’s unnecessary to do the exercises on both sides in the video. Just demonstrate the exercise on one side. We can all figure out that the exercises are symmetrical.
