Over 60? Stop Squats — Do These Knee-Safe Exercises | Inspired By Dr Kenneth H. Cooper

Описание: If you are over 60 and your knees no longer tolerate squats, this video is for you. Many older adults are told that squats are essential for leg strength, but aging knees follow different biological rules. In this 56-minute deep, reflective, and science-based talk, we explore why traditional squats may strain aging knee joints and how three safer, smarter exercises can build strength, stability, and confidence without pain.

This video explains how knee cartilage, muscle coordination, and joint pressure change after 60, and why knee-friendly movements often outperform squats for long-term mobility. You will learn how simple daily movements can protect your knees, improve walking confidence, and help you stand, climb stairs, and move freely again.

Designed especially for seniors, this calm and compassionate lecture blends scientific understanding with practical wisdom. No extreme workouts, no risky movements, just safe, joint-friendly exercises that respect the aging body.

Whether you are over 50, over 60, or caring for aging parents, this video offers clarity, reassurance, and a smarter path to knee strength and independence.
