For anyone over 60 I recommend 3 sets of full squats before bed for a good night's sleep and strength for hill walking and climbing stairs.

- clort 2y agoI'm not over 60, yet, and I feel there are likely many, myself included, who don't know what a "set of full squats" is, exactly.. when you recommend such things could you at least say what that is thanks?
- reportgunner 2y agoA "set" probably refers to 5 or more repetitions per set, so 3 sets are 3*5+ repetitions of squats. A "full" squat probably means to go so low that your butt goes below your knees.
- ninalanyon 2y agoHow does 3 sets of 5 differ from 15?
- acuozzo 2y agoWithout taking a break, you can lift a heavier weight 5 times than you can 15 times.
- cutler 2y agoSorry. For me a set is just going to your limit. A full squat is where your butt touches your ankles but don't "bounce" - pause momentarily before you come back up.
