Liz Hilliard Designs 4-Move Standing Core Routine for Belly Fat After 60

Summary
A four-exercise standing circuit from Liz Hilliard targets older adults seeking a simple at-home core routine, with high-knee marches, oblique twists, woodchops and oblique punches.
Aging drives the focus: hormone shifts and muscle loss can push more fat toward the abdomen, while one review found visceral fat more than doubled in men and rose more than fourfold in women from their 30s to 70s.
No exercise can spot-reduce belly fat—one 6-week study found abdominal work improved endurance but did not cut abdominal fat by itself—but core training still supports posture, balance, spine stability and daily movement.
Hilliard recommends 30 seconds each for three moves, 10 reps per side for woodchops, and repeating the full circuit 3 times.
The routine is framed as an entry point, not a full program: CDC guidance for adults 65 and older still calls for 150 minutes of moderate activity weekly plus 2 days of strength work.
