Maintaining core strength and burning belly fat feels hard as age grows. You do not need long gym hours or the skill of an athlete to see gains. This 8-minute workout fits adults over 50. It works the core, fights belly fat, and uses many muscles. You can do these moves almost anywhere—even seated.
Why Work on Your Core After 50?
A strong core helps you stand, sit, and move. It also keeps you steady. Your core links closely to balance, posture, and safe motion. Tightening your tummy muscles, sides, hip flexors, legs, and arms builds a better body. This set of moves fights the extra fat on your lower belly and sides. They keep joints safe and use simple steps.
