Over 75? Orthopedic Surgeon WARNS Walking Isn’t Enough — Do THIS Instead | Senior Health Tips
Walking every day feels like the right thing to do after 75 — but it may not be enough to protect your balance, strength, and independence. In this video, an orthopedic surgeon explains why walking alone often fails to prevent falls, weakness, and loss of mobility in adults over 75 — and what actually works instead. You’ll learn the five most important exercises proven to improve balance, rebuild leg power, strengthen joints, and reduce fall risk using movements designed specifically for aging muscles and nerves. These exercises are safe, joint-friendly, and scalable, whether you’re active, slowing down, or just getting started again. Backed by clinical research and real-world medical experience, this routine focuses on the exact movements that help seniors stand up with confidence, climb stairs safely, and stay independent longer. If you or someone you care about wants to age with strength, stability, and confidence, this is information you don’t want to miss. --- 📢 If you enjoyed this video: 👍 Give it a LIKE to support our channel 💬 COMMENT your age and where you’re watching from — we love hearing from our amazing viewers! 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more weekly videos on senior fitness, longevity, and healthy living. --- 📖 Research Sources: Sipilä et al. “Leg Strength Training Improves Mobility in Older Women.” Journal of Gerontology. 1995.
