280. Will Harlow: STOP Losing Muscle After 50 (Do This Instead)

A 30-second test with nothing but a chair can tell you whether
you'll be independent or dependent at 80. Most people score lower
than they expect and don't find out until something goes wrong.
Here's the stat that stopped me cold: for older adults, the hip
often breaks before the fall. The bone gives out first. The fall is
what happens next. And most doctors never mention it. UK
physiotherapist Will Harlow breaks down why your knee pain usually
isn't coming from your knee, how even people in their 90s rebuilt
leg strength by 175% in eight weeks, and the one movement test that
predicts your longevity better than most bloodwork panels. CLICK
