After 60? What Doctors Don't Tell You About LEG WEAKNESS | Senior Health Tips

Описание: Do your legs feel weaker over time after turning 60?
Recent research suggests that while walking is a healthy habit, it may not fully support leg strength, balance, and joint stability on its own. In this educational video, we explore why leg weakness can still develop with age — and what muscle systems often need extra attention.

In this video, you’ll learn:

✅ Why leg strength can decline even if you walk regularly
✅ Which muscle groups are most affected with aging
✅ How hip strength and balance relate to knee comfort
✅ One commonly used strengthening exercise for seniors
✅ A simple daily routine that may support stability over time

If you’re over 60 and your legs feel:
• weak on stairs
• heavy when standing up
• less steady on uneven ground
• slower during daily movements

…this video shares gentle, senior-friendly information you can use at home.
