Over 60? Surgeons Say This 1 Chair Exercise Works Better Than Walking

Most seniors are told the same advice for decades:
“Just walk more.”

But what if walking alone is not enough after 60?

In this video, we break down five surgeon-approved chair exercises that research shows can improve strength, balance, circulation, posture, and even bone density — often more effectively than walking alone.

Backed by studies from major universities and insights commonly used in orthopedic rehabilitation, this routine is designed for adults over 60 who want to stay independent, avoid falls, and protect their strength safely.

No gym.
No floor work.
Just a chair and proven movements.

Stay until the end — the #1 exercise is considered one of the strongest predictors of independence and longevity.

🧠 WHY THESE EXERCISES MATTER

Each exercise targets a different aging-related fear:

Poor circulation & leg swelling

Weak knees & difficulty standing

Tripping, shuffling, dangerous falls

Hunched posture & breathing issues

Loss of independence & bone weakness

Walking helps the heart — but strength protects independence.
