The prestigious academic institution identified two types of ideal exercises that involve several muscle groups at the same time.

Exercises you should do at age 50, according to Harvard
glute bridge
This exercise, recommended by the Harvard School of Health, is excellent for working the back of the legs and glutes. Additionally, it engages the “core”, thus strengthening the abs and lower back.
Iron
This isometric exercise is highly effective in improving stability and strengthening the abdominals and overall “core.” The plank also works almost every muscle in the body simultaneously, making it a convenient and efficient option.
