Leg Strength Exercises For Seniors: The 5 Best Ones

By: Emily Ing and Igor Klibanov

You’re a senior who wants to improve your strength and have more energy. Maybe your doctor told you that you need to get stronger, or you decided it on your own. You’ve noticed that things have gotten tougher as you got older:

• Climbing stairs
• Walking around
• Carrying groceries
• Playing with your grandkids
• Gardening
• Activities around the house

…and others.

Plus, one of the greatest fears of seniors is falling down (possibly fracturing or breaking a bone), and not being able to get back up.

You don’t want to have to be dependent on your family or on caregivers. Good for you.

The fact that you searched for leg exercises for seniors shows that you’re not just going to let time take its course. You’re going to fight the decline in strength with well… strength training.

Now you’re probably reading this and thinking “Yeah, this is what I’m looking for. This guy really gets me. But who knows if what he has to say is truly useful. Who is this guy anyways?”
