Depending on her mobility you may want to consider local programs at a senior center for exercise classes. Otherwise, there are plenty of ways to exercise safely for older adults. If someone hasn’t exercised in a while, it’s best to build up endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility slowly. Taking daily walks several days a week can be a great start. After that, you can begin to introduce more strength training, swimming, and even yoga to keep joints, muscles, and bones strong and healthy!
