Top 7 Core Exercises for Elderly to Practice Daily

I’ve worked with many older adults who told me the same thing: “I want to feel strong again.” That feeling of youth doesn’t disappear as we age—it simply needs a little nurturing. When my father turned 70, his posture started to curve. He also struggled with balance while walking. What changed everything for him? A daily core routine.

Why Core Strength Matters as You Age Weak core muscles are a major cause of many elderly people experiencing back pain and poor posture. As stated by the CDC, one in four adults aged 65 and older falls annually, frequently a result of weakened balance. Having a strong core prevents that. It stabilizes your spine, keeps you standing tall, and energizes day-to-day movement—from getting out of bed to grocery shopping.

Dr. Jordan Metzl, a physician of sports medicine, says it best: "Core strength is the foundation for all movement." And he's entirely correct.

Here Are 7 Core Exercises You Should Practice Every Day

1. Pelvic Tilts

How: Lie on your back, bend your knees, and place your feet flat. Gently arch your pelvis, so your lower spine pushes into the ground. Hold, then release. Why: Develops deep abdominal muscles and maintains spinal alignment.

2. Bird Dog

How: Get on hands and knees. Extend your right arm forward and left leg back. Hold, then switch. Why: Improves balance, coordination, and spine stability. Great for fall prevention.

3. Bridges

How: Lie down, knees bent. Lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders. Why: Strengthens glutes, lower back, and core. Helps with walking and climbing stairs.

4. Heel Slides

How: Lie on your side with your knees bent. Slowly move one heel forward, then backward. Keep your core tight. Why: Activates the lower abdominals and teaches control of the pelvis without putting tension in the back.

5. Marching in Place (Seated or Standing)

How: Bring one knee toward your chest one time at a time either sitting or standing with support. Why: Strengthens the core and hips. Activates dynamic balance utilized every day when walking.

6. Seated Torso Twists

How: Sit up tall. Cross arms or put hands on shoulders. Twist left, then right, gently. Why: Engages obliques and enhances rotational ability safely—such as turning to pick up something behind you.

7. Wall Plank

How: Stand at arm's length from a wall. Place palms flat on the wall. Lean in, with body straight. Hold. Why: Engages core, shoulders, and posture muscles—without putting strain on wrists or lower back.

Make This a Daily Habit

All it takes is 30 minutes a day. My dad stuck with it for three months, and his back pain subsided; he can balance so much better than before. He walks with confidence now. He no longer fears falling.

If you want to be in control of your body, able to stay independent and aging on your own terms, then core exercises are the ticket to that end.

The PERFECT Full Body Morning Mobility Routine | growwithjo

[faytelumos]

I found this after watching a Stop Dancing Awkwardly video and I just wanted to share it. It's a no-pressure, no-cost, standing workout that I think most people can do in their bedrooms. The instructor here is pregnant, which tells me also that this workout doesn't stress the body too hard at all.

I hope this helps, and good luck to everyone keeping resolutions this year.
