Replies to 'Exercise'

you can get good ideas from the internet site of of the national institute for the aging.  i actally have a pamplet they sent me.

this is the site

 http://search2.google.cit.nih.gov/search?q=exercise&site=NIA&client=NIA_frontend&proxystylesheet=NIA_frontend&output=xml_no_dtd&filter=0&getfields=*&submit=SEARCH

besides that you can do a search for seniors - exercise and get lots of information and routines.

Sometimes I get to be considered a senior (I'm 55), and I've been helping my mom (80 young years) get started with exercise. I don't know if you like videos/ DVDs or not, but a fantastic resource is http://collagevideo.com.

Use the key search word "seniors" and it will pull up all the titles they have for seniors exercising. What's neat about this web site is that you can click on the title, then click to play a 60 second preview of the video itself. It gives you a really good idea of the pace, voice of the instructor, etc. I searched and found these titles:
