Age 50+ - Exercise for 65+

I brought my 65 yo mom to live with me last week (has Alzheimer's). Since I'm dieting/working out everyday, Mom wants to workout too. I'm currently turbo jamming at home but I think it would be too fast paced for her (for now). I am hoping someone could suggest some starter exercises. Thanks ladies :)

BTW: Mom is 5'2" and 210 lbs

:thanks:

Leslie Sansone has a DVD for older people who are just getting started called Walk For Seniors Aerobics.

If you do a search for senior exercise dvd you can probably find lots.

If she has no history of exercise she should start slow--walking is probably good. Make sure she has good shoes, not just some little flat slip on things. :)

I'm sorry to hear your mom has Alzheimer's at 65. That's pretty young. I assume a doctor has diagnosed her.

Good luck,
Jay
