Meanwhile, I'm all for doing this exercise as well as others, although I don't consider any one of them as the most important. The most important activity is for "seniors" to get up and DO things.

Don't disagree with your end game conclusions. I am 72 and can do this easily( because I haven't ever stopped). I have seen a number of studies supporting calf raises ( soleus esp). But I would add STRETCHING!!! Even ppl who can't run or lift weight can stretch, focusing on each section of your body from fingers to toes. It does important activation of muscle fibers.

I’m not old, but I do this exercise anyway. ♥️

[@facelquetglas8929]

Smart!

[@joehellno9097]

I suggest varying the arm position during the squat. If you put your arms back while squatting, they serve as a bit of a counterweight so everything is not forward with legs and hips lifting and holding it all. And with arms back, you'll be doing a variation of the chest expansion/back contraction. But you'll also feel it in the back of the arms, that is rear delts and triceps. Again, this 'arms as counterweight' is not to replace the central exercise, but merely provides alternatives for weight placement or positioning. I find it particularly beneficial to begin with, before moving arms forward over the thighs.

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

A squat DOESNT have to be PERFECT. Just get to the floor and stand up. Do it 50 times a day, every day. That would also help.

[@JohnBullard]

A little addition to good info- the "invisible chair" is not squatting. When your hamstrings are pressed down on your calves, you are squatting. Squatting to empty the bowels is a mechanism for keeping the lower back healthy by stretching it for the length of time it takes to crap on the ground, but we don't do that, and so we miss out. To regain the real squat, with real benefits (which are found in the bottom half of the movement), one must regain Achilles and ankle mobility, the worst impediment to squatting. Every morning, grab the bathroom counter and stretch each calf, then grab the sink and lower yourself into a squat as deep as you can, and work up to a minute, then longer and longer until you can stay in a squat as a resting position for an hour if you wish (or playing with your grandchildren). Sink squats are the way back. Sink squats are easy to remember to do and don't take much time. I'm 65. I also used this method to regain full range of motion in my knee after an altercation with a Prius (My bike was as twisted as my leg.) The foundation of fitness longevity is joint and spine care.

The only right thing here is that squats are the most important for overall health of all not only seniors. All shown here is wrong and can harm your kidneys, leading you nowhere and he himself soon will not get out of chair if continue to do exercise like this with increasing lumbar curvature. It is the opposite movement required, get your belly inside and the lumbar curvature should be straight as possible. You seniors do not need to squat till the floor and feet should be parallel. Hold yourself on something and go as deep as it is comfortable for you, slowly you will progress. The most important thing is having your attention on feet and to push the ground with your feet, using the bones and muscle just follow. Repeat, repeat, repeat ... slowly you will be able to transfer more weight on your legs and by this the energy will flow more and your overall health will be much better.

Why do you raise your heels when you squat?

[@jacemiller2593]

I thought you said it wasn’t calf raises. 🤔

[@AdamJStoryDC]

It includes a squat. Would you rather be able to get off the toilet without help from a nurse or stand on your toes to reach something when you're old? Pick one and call that #1. The other is #2.

There are many days where I do squat all day long lol
