In this article, we will explore four of the most impactful exercises that can help you trim your waistline, improve your posture, and enhance your overall well-being. So, get ready to discover the secrets to achieving a slimmer waist after 60 and embrace a more confident and vibrant you.

Kettlebell Deadlifts

• Place the kettlebell on the floor and stand just above the bell with your feet a few centimeters apart from shoulder width.
• Tighten your trunk and bend your hips, pushing your butt back as if you were about to sit down. When your hands reach the handle of the kettlebell, squeeze your lats and core, inhale and push off the ground with your feet to stand up, carrying the kettlebell with you.
• As you stand up, exhale and keep your muscles active.
• When you have stood up, squeeze your glutes. That’s a repeat.
• You have to do 3 sets of 12 repetitions.

Arm overhead press

• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Grab the dumbbells with your palms facing up.
• Raise both arms first to shoulder height and then up, above your head.
• Lower your arms carefully to the starting position.
• Do 20 repetitions.

Seated Double Arm Cable Row

• Place a V-bar (or two rowing handles of the same size) on the cable machine and adjust the height so that the top of the handles are level with the center of your chest. Choose a weight that challenges you but does not require effort.
• Next, sit on the bench with your knees slightly bent. Extend your arms and grab the handle with both hands. Lean back slightly to engage your core.
• While strengthening your abdominal muscles, move your shoulders back and down, and then pull the handles toward your stomach, bending your elbows so they “touch” your waist. Pause for a second and then slowly extend your arms, returning them to the starting position. That’s a repeat.
• Do 3 sets of 12 repetitions.

Squat to alternating reverse lunge

• Stand with your feet parallel, hip-width apart.
• Bend your knees and sit on your haunches, keeping your chest raised. Stand up, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
• From there, step with your right foot backwards, descending into a reverse lunge. The right knee should be below the right hip, at an angle of approximately 90 degrees.
• Pause and then step forward, bringing your hips back to the standing position. Repeat with the left leg. This counts as one repetition.
• Do 3 sets of 12 repetitions.
