The 8-Minute Morning Routine That Restores Thigh Strength Faster Than Gym Machines After 55

I’ve worked in the fitness industry all of my adult life, both as a personal trainer and helping new PTs get their qualifications, and I’ve worked directly and indirectly with tens of thousands of older adults. A lot of people in their 50s and above who haven’t exercised regularly are intimidated by leg exercises, having seen the memes about “leg day” and thinking they need to be getting under a heavy bar and squatting. The reality couldn’t be further from the truth. The thighs contain a significant amount of muscle mass, and increasing strength in them is an easy process, no matter the age of the trainee, and it doesn’t have to include heavy squats. This 8-minute morning routine can help you rebuild that strength without a gym membership or a single piece of equipment.
