1 Exercise to Stop Leg Weakness After 60 (Science-Backed) | Surgeon Said : Dr. Kend Berry

For over 30 years, I've seen a simple difference determine whether my patients walk in on their own or need help: leg strength. What most people call "normal aging"—taking longer to stand, fearing stairs, losing balance—is often preventable muscle loss called sarcopenia. The well-meaning advice to "just walk more" isn't enough. New research shows walking alone does not preserve the critical strength needed for independence. In this video, I, Dr. Kend Berry, will walk you through the five most effective, chair-based exercises—backed by clinical studies—to directly combat leg weakness, improve balance, and prevent falls. One of these exercises is the most powerful and most overlooked. You are not late. You are not behind. Your body is still capable.
