Its Never Too Late to Start Working Out

I have been working with an 87-year old female (no background in structured exercises) who has lost weight and been walking about 2-3 miles consistently for the last 5 years. She has had some issues with strength in her left leg as well as general soreness in the same area. Although she does exercise fairly consistently (stretching, some weights, and walking) she does it all in the morning and sits the rest of the day. This counteracts the activity she has in the morning. So, we have developed a different stretching program, have increased her walking (she decreases the walk each year during the winter months when she doesn't walk as much because of the weather), and added some other strength moves specific to her complaints and thrown in some Viniyoga. I didn't expect much but she has done fabulously. So never give up; you can always make strides not matter what age or what condition.
