In this video, I’ll reveal 3 common exercises that are wrecking your joints-and joint-friendly alternatives to keep you strong, mobile, and pain-free as you age.
🚨 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ The 3 worst exercises for your joints after 50 (and how they cause damage)
✅ Safer, low-impact exercises that build strength without joint pain
✅ How to modify your workouts to prevent injuries, reduce joint stress, and improve mobility
💀 Worst Exercise #1: Running (Joint Shock & Wear-and-Tear)
Running puts 4x your body weight of force through your knees, hips, and ankles
This can lead to arthritis, joint inflammation, and cartilage damage
✅ Better alternative: Cycling, swimming, incline walking, or a structured strength training program
💀 Worst Exercise #2: Russian Twists (Spine-Destroying Core Workout)
Twisting movements create dangerous shear forces on your lumbar spine
This can lead to lower back pain, herniated discs, and spinal strain
✅ Better alternative: Dead bugs or plank variations for a pain-free, strong core
💀 Worst Exercise #3: Overhead Press (Shoulder Impingement & Rotator Cuff Damage)
Overhead pressing compresses the rotator cuff, leading to impingement, inflammation, and chronic pain
✅ Better alternative: Lateral raises, front raises, or landmine presses to build shoulder strength safely
