    Why These Exercises Matter

    After 60, strength is more than muscle — it’s about freedom. These movements are designed to keep your body active, protect your joints, and support a more independent, confident life as you age.

    Even doing just 10–15 minutes a day can lead to noticeable improvements in energy, mobility, and confidence.
