Скачать или смотреть Over 60? Do These Chair Exercises Before Walking to Protect Your Ankles | Senior Vital Wellness

Many adults over the age of 60 believe that weak ankles are simply a normal part of aging. But doctors and physical therapists see something very different every day. Most falls don’t happen while you’re already walking—they happen in the split second before the first step even begins.
Before your foot leaves the ground, your ankles must sense position, stabilize your body, and accept your full weight. For most seniors, that critical moment is never trained. In fact, walking more often can sometimes increase fall risk because it does not retrain ankle reaction timing.
In this video, you’ll learn three simple, chair-based ankle exercises that doctors and physical therapists use to strengthen weak ankles before walking begins—the exact phase where balance failures usually occur.
You’ll discover:
Why balance actually starts at the ankles, not the hips or knees
How delayed toe-lift activation contributes to trips and falls after 60
The seated toe pullback exercise that rebuilds ankle-to-brain communication
Ankle reaction taps that train fast response to sudden balance shifts
The chair-supported heel raise hold doctors prioritize for fall prevention
These exercises are gentle, equipment-free, and can be done in just 5 minutes a day. They focus on reaction speed, control, and awareness—the three layers that protect independence as we age.
Backed by research from institutions like Harvard Medical School, the University of Michigan, and King’s College London, this routine targets the most overlooked cause of falls: delayed ankle response.
If you’re over 60 and noticing:
Foot dragging or poor toe lift
Fear of tripping or falling
Unsteady first steps
Weak or unstable ankles
This video is for you.
No gym.
No floor exercises.
No long workouts.
Just smart, doctor-approved ankle training that fits into real life.
