Start with 20 to 30 reps per set.

Gradually increase to 100-200 per day, dividing the dose into several approaches.

If you have an expander or an elastic band, the exercise becomes even more effective, but it works very well without them.

Important Rules
For the “scissors” to be useful, follow a few conditions:

don’t let the pain set in – muscles may get tired, but joints shouldn’t suffer;

breathe correctly – always exhale with effort;

exercise regularly – it is better to do a little each day than rarely and “to the point of exhaustion”;

Use a comfortable surface – a carpet or a hard bed.

How to combine exercise and walking?
I’m not against walking. But it should be a complement to, not the basis of, your workout, especially if you have foot problems. The best way to do this is to:

First, we strengthen muscles with exercise;

then we add walks in a comfortable volume;

Maintain balance: 10 to 15 minutes of “scissors” plus a leisurely walk in the fresh air.

Conclusion:
Walking after 60 isn’t a cure-all for all ailments. In weakened muscles, it can aggravate problems. But the “scissors” exercise is truly effective: it strengthens the legs, improves blood circulation, relieves joint strain, and restores ease of mobility.

Try to activate it for at least a week and share: has it become easier for you to walk and has your health changed?

Remember: health after 60 requires a systematic approach. There are no miracles; only the right exercises and regular practice will produce results.
