5 Exercises Better Than Walking After 60—Surgeon Approved! | Senior Health Tips

Описание: 🚨 Over 60? Walking alone may NOT be the best exercise for your health.

✅ The simple strength move that reduces fall risk by 60%
✅ How to protect your knees and hips from painful arthritis
✅ The balance exercise doctors call a “lifesaver” for seniors
✅ Why these 5 moves are MORE effective than long daily walks
✅ A safe routine you can do at home in just 20 minutes, 3x per week
