5 Bed Exercises That Restore Back Strength Faster Than Physical Therapy After 60

4 days ago 7

If getting out of bed takes longer than it used to, or standing up straight feels like something you have to think about, that’s not just aging. It’s your back muscles losing the strength they need to do their job, and it happens gradually enough that most people don’t notice until it’s already affecting their daily life.

I’m a personal trainer and fitness educator at TRAINFITNESS, and I’ve been working in the fitness industry for 40 years. Back weakness is one of the most common issues I see in people over 60, and it affects nearly every aspect of daily life. The good news is that rebuilding back strength doesn’t require a gym membership or complicated equipment. Some of the most effective exercises can be done right in your bed before you even start your day.
