This 12-Minute Bodyweight Routine Builds More Muscle Than 50 Minutes of Weights After 55

I’ve worked in the fitness industry all my adult life. I started as a group exercise instructor, then worked for many years as a personal trainer before focusing on fitness education and creating the next generation of fitness professionals.

One thing I’ve always found frustrating is the belief that it’s impossible for older adults to build muscle. This just isn’t the case. Is it harder? Yes, but those challenges aren’t insurmountable if approached in the right way.

This 12-minute bodyweight routine can help you build real, functional strength without setting foot in a gym and it works better than hour-long weight sessions for most people over 55.
