First, lower body strength is life. Your longevity depends on it. Here's why and how to squat after 50 to improve lower body strength. Be sure you're doing squats if at all possible. You need that function, the leg strength and you're most likely using this motion daily.

For the best tools additional tools beyond weights, I recommend:
A weighted vest: 10-15% of body weight
Use a Power Plate (save big with this community code!)

The science:
Doing 10 sets of squats for a minute exercise alternated with 1 minute rest with a weighted vest + a WBV was more effective than wv or wbv alone.

Srisaphonphusitti, L., Manimmanakorn, N., Manimmanakorn, A. et al. Effects of whole body vibration exercise combined with weighted vest in older adults: a randomized controlled trial. BMC Geriatr 22, 911 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12877-022-03...
Other studies show 138% increased muscle recruitment using Power Plate.


You'll also find Power Plate at gyms, and recreation centers.
