Over 65? Stop Walking — These 3 Surgeon-Approved Exercises Work Better

Exercise better than walking for seniors becomes important after 65, especially if walking is still your main form of activity. Walking keeps you active, but after a certain age, it no longer trains everything your body needs for safe and confident movement. Many men over 65 notice stiffness when standing up, unsteady first steps in the morning, or a quiet loss of confidence when walking. In this video, you’ll learn three simple exercises for men over 65 that prepare your body for walking instead of replacing it. These movements focus on control, balance, and coordination — areas that walking alone often misses. We start with a chair-based movement to improve standing control, followed by heel raises to support steadiness, and finish with a supported knee lift to help your steps feel cleaner and more confident. This routine is calm, safe, and designed specifically for seniors. No rushing. No forcing. Just simple movements that help walking feel easier and more controlled over time. If you’re over 65 and want to move with more confidence, this routine is a smart place to start. #SeniorExercise #Over65Fitness #ExerciseBetterThanWalking #BalanceExercisesForSeniors #ChairExercisesForSeniors
