The Standing Test: Why Japanese Seniors Never Lose Their Legs After 60

Description Most people over 60 lose leg strength years before they notice — not from age, but from habits that quietly stop asking the legs to work. This video breaks down five specific, science-informed movements inspired by how active seniors in Japan move through daily life: ankle mobility work, a slower sit-to-stand pattern, reactive balance training, calf activation, and the deep resting squat. No gym, no equipment, about 15 minutes spread across your day. Learn the simple standing test doctors use, why your ankles matter more than your knees, and how to rebuild the strength that keeps you independent for decades.
