Скачать или смотреть How DOING LESS Can Make You Stronger After 50!

Most exercises for seniors are too intense, painful, or just plain ineffective.

And if you’re over 60 and trying to get stronger — but feel worse after every full-body routine — this is your sign to stop doing it all.

In this video, I’ll show you why just doing the “lowering” part of an exercise can help seniors or the elderly build strength, improve mobility, and feel less pain.

🧠 It’s called eccentric training, and it’s the most underrated strength secret for seniors.

👊 You don’t need fancy equipment. Just a chair, and the right approach.

🔁 Watch till the end for progressions that keep you safe — but strong.
