5 Daily Walking Drills That Tighten Your Core Better Than Ab Work After 50

Tightening your core is crucial for leading a healthy, active lifestyle. After all, your core is basically “body central,” giving you solid power, balance, and posture to conquer daily life. It provides a supportive base to help your body parts move freely. A strong core will also protect you from injuries and help you walk, lift, bend, and do everyday tasks so much easier.

Your core includes your abs, obliques, pelvic floor, lower back, glutes, and hips all working together, so it’s clear to see the importance of showing your core some love. We’re not talking hugs—abdominal work is an excellent way to strengthen your midsection. But we spoke with La Vonn Gilbert, founder of BCF Wellness, who shares five daily walking sequences you can add to your workout to tighten your core even better.
