Move

Move is where Fitness Four covers strength, walking, mobility, and everyday fitness for women in midlife and beyond. The focus is on movement you can keep doing week after week: short strength sessions, low-impact routines you can do at home, and simple tests that show how your body is doing.

If you’re new here, start with the 15-minute strength plan for beginners over 50, try the at-home tests in The 4 Muscles That Decide Whether You Stay Independent, or give the Japanese walking method a go. Prefer to stay seated? Our chair exercise guide has 14 moves to start with. You’ll also find our own data reporting here, including the fittest ZIP code in every state.
