The Midlife Workout
Our exercise plan to help you through it -- and beyond. These eight moves will help develop balance, increase core strength and build muscles to torch more calories, says Desirée Bartlett, group fitness manager at Equinox Fitness in Santa Monica, who created this workout.
Rearview Redo: Works glutes, inner and outer thighs
A | Loop a towel or rope around a sturdy stair rail or pole. Position yourself so rope is taut, and rise up to balls of feet, with feet slightly wider than shoulder width.
B | Bend knees into a squat (keep your knees at 9O degrees) and stay up on toes for 5 counts. Keep torso upright. Squeeze glutes to return to standing; repeat. Do 2 sets of 12 to 15 reps.
