James Brady Recommends 5 Morning Exercises to Build Leg Strength After 60

Summary
Five bodyweight moves—squats, step-ups, glute bridges, calf raises and reverse lunges—are Brady’s recommended daily morning routine for men over 60 to rebuild leg strength.
Morning sessions may help because they reactivate muscles after overnight inactivity, while consistent functional movement can support lower-body strength and mobility without heavy weights or intense gym training.
Brady says the exercises target major leg muscles while also improving balance, coordination and stability, addressing everyday tasks such as climbing stairs, rising from a chair and walking uphill.
Age-related muscle loss, or sarcopenia, accelerates over time, making leg-strength maintenance increasingly important for older adults’ mobility and independence.
