    I've just found the Aussie version of Bob & Brad (the two most famous physiotherapists on the Internet - in their opinion). When you actually reach 55 or 65 or 75 and you suddenly realise that you cannot do the simple things like getting up off the loo let a lone a chair without support you have to stand up and take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror.
    It is not just about how many or how few sit to stands you can do, it is the whole overall picture of your weight, diet and activity. Usually, first problem will be obesity and addressing that will help your overall health no end. Exercise, get out and walk in the park or the streets of the town, just move your backside on a regular basis. Park further away from the entrance to the supermarket for example.
    I speak from experience as a 69 year old who let his body go through smoking, excessive alcohol and obesity. I had given up smoking more than two years ago, but only took control of my situation this March 2024. I stopped drinking alcohol completely, I adopted an intermittent fasting regime, cutting out all of the sugar heavy rubbish they push on you through advertisements on the TV and I started to do the very basic exercises as seen in this video albeit, nowhere as nibble as these two lads.
    Nothing comes easy, if you want your health and your strength back then, you're going to have to work at it and you won't have the stamina to go at it like you may well have done in your younger years, just find what exercises you can do around the home, body weight squats, counter top push ups etc. before any requirement to visit a gym or buy expensive home fitness equipment even though, a set of resistance bands has helped me no end.
    So where am I some 4 calendar months later - I lost some 12 kg. I can do counter top push-ups no problem, I can do some kneeling push-ups, but still can't do one proper push up. I can do planks 3 x 45 seconds with a 30 second rest in between and a whole host of other things I couldn't do back in March. I had been diagnosed with degenerative knee osteoarthritis a year ago with quite severe knee pain and the future didn't look rosy, but that has completely disappeared without any necessary prescription drugs and for some reason or other as I proved leading up to Christmas, that drinking beer aggravated the condition.
    Okay, I've written a book here, but one day I will document my journey on my own channel this is just to say that mostly, we are in control of our own health destinies, but you need to decide whether you're prepared to put the work in with your exercise and diet OR get weaker and require a stick or walker, your choice.

    I'm 63, worst shape of my life, overweight and have not trained in more than 20 years, plus I severally injured my left knee meniscus 11 weeks ago and for quite a while was unable to walk unaided. I did 22 reps. When the NHS physio tested my leg strength 5 years ago when I was 58 (while I was being assessed for a torn rotator cuff for some reason) I had to perform a sitting leg extension one leg at a time while he resisted me, he said he'd never tested anyone my age with legs that strong. I'm not sure I believe him tbh because by my standards I am weak nowadays. Can't recall my squat or leg press weights but I could Bench 130kgs at 42 years of age so I was reasonably strong all over.

    27 in 30 seconds for 76 yrs old. I must be ok. I try to be not too comfortable with daily activities. I walk up and down the stairs, carry a basket instead of a trolley when shopping and I refuse to get a lazy boy or a too soft couch. Pay attention to what I eat and do exercises. I just feel lucky that I still have decent mobility and mental capacity.

    I suspect that the decline in muscle mass and strength after age 30 in studies is due to the decline in exercise during those years as compared to earlier years and not merely a result of age. I submit that someone who exercises more during the decade will usually see an increase in leg strength instead of a decrease.
    I know someone who is age 76, weight 170 lbs., and did 4 reps of leg press with 1,000 lbs. This is an increase in strength compared to the previous 2 decades. This was apparently due to regular weight training.

    • @kirkdarling4120

      @@kirkdarling4120 It's my belief that human potential, physically and mentally, is actually greater than many think. When those in the health field who create expectations and images according to age, however, it's unfortunate since people vary greatly. Those who live a healthy lifestyle and are older might actually be much stronger than most who are perhaps 20 years younger.
      Living a healthy lifestyle with exercise and proper diet can affect the quality of life regardless of longevity, potentially reducing or avoiding many health issues.

      The rate of decline increases with age, but it is absolutely prevented (and reversed) with regular strength training. You are absolutely right in that a regular exercise regime will result in an increase in leg strength!!

    I’ve been doing ‘box’ squats with 2 x 5 lb dumbbells doing curls at the same time. I usually go for 50 reps, body angled but close to 90 degree bend at the knee. Anything wrong with doing 50 reps? Also, I discovered TRX suspension straps which are great squat support. Trying to get my Kazakh squat back on both sides dealing with right knee injury hampering getting fully down and back out; the TRX is super helpful for this training.

      It sounds like you have a good routine going, and that's great to hear.
      Generally, we do recommend that you slowly start to increase the weight used to further challenge your muscles at a lower repetition range. This is better known to help facilitate muscle mass and bone density increase!
