Amanda Kloots and Aquagym Experts Advise New Workouts for Seniors
Fitness coach Amanda Kloots recommends a daily 15‑minute rope‑skipping routine to tone the arms and abdomen of people over 50. She says the activity engages the biceps, triceps and deltoids while providing a high‑intensity cardio workout that burns calories and reduces overall body fat.
Separately, aquagym specialists promote the "twist aquatique" exercise for individuals over 60. Performed in waist‑deep water, the movement combines torso rotation, core engagement and balance, using water resistance to strengthen deep abdominal muscles without stressing joints. The routine is said to improve posture, mobility and waist definition while minimizing injury risk.
