Gentle Bed-Based Moves to Restore Thigh Power After 60

Four bed-friendly moves—straight-leg raises, supine leg presses against a footboard with a resistance band, inner-thigh squeezes, and heel slides (with resisted hip abduction as a progression)—can help restore thigh strength faster than squats for adults over 60, since these exercises avoid load-bearing and balance demands; focus on consistency and gradual resistance to maintain mobility and leg function.
