Why do older adults in Okinawa walk miles every day without canes while millions of people over 60 struggle just to rise from a chair? The reason may surprise you.
In this video, we uncover 6 effective Japanese exercises scientifically shown to DOUBLE leg strength in adults over 60. Research published in the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy found that Japanese seniors who practiced these traditional movements achieved a 112% increase in leg strength and lowered their fall risk by 67%.
You’ll learn the precise method for each exercise, from easy heel lifts to the top movement that helped patients regain independent walking in only 8 weeks. These exercises need no equipment, no gym, and take under 20 minutes a day.
Watch until the end to learn the gold-standard exercise that researchers say could be the key difference between requiring help and living independently for many more years.
