Are you concerned about belly fat? This 10-minute standing ab workout is designed specifically for women over 50, supporting beginners and incorporating dumbbell weights for added resistance. Let's delve into the exercises that make this routine effective.

Begin the session by reaching your right arm high and extending your left arm out as you lift the left knee. This exercise engages the core muscles and uses the dumbbell weight to add resistance.

After a quick 15-second rest, switch sides. If the exercise feels challenging with your weights, consider lowering the weight or omitting it to suit your comfort level.

Hold a light dumbbell in your right hand. Engage your core as you lift your left knee towards your hand. While this may be demanding, it effectively targets the lower abs.

Repeat the sequence on the other side, as working both sides evenly is crucial for balanced muscle development.

Next, perform the 'around the worlds' exercise by choosing a heavier dumbbell. Stabilize the core to prevent swinging, aiming to maintain a straight torso. This exercise builds core strength effectively.

To focus on the lower abs and obliques, bring your dumbbell to the center and twist from left to right. Keep your arms extended straight and engage your core throughout the movement.

For exercises targeting the obliques and side abs, lift your dumbbell high with your left hand. Allow your body to lower while keeping the arm raised high, lengthening through the side during the crunch.

Repeat this exercise on the opposite side to ensure balanced training.

Completing this 10-minute routine places you among the top 20% of women over 50 who engage in regular strength training. The more you engage in these exercises, focusing on strength and core stability, the greater the benefit to your overall health. Remember, the objective is to build strength, not necessarily to achieve a six-pack appearance.

“The goal is to become strong and robust, not to get a six-pack.”
