I don't agree with that thought process, but since she views herself that way, I found this book that I feel presents interesting ways to prevent continued inactivity. She was elated and read through this book very quickly...something I had been trying to get her to do for years! All movement counts as exercise, some movements are just more effective than others. I think this book does a very good job in reaching the elderly population, especially those who are reluctant exercisers.
This is an easy to read fitness book for older individuals.

This easy to read and interesting book has been instrumental in the motivation of an elderly friend's progress toward better health. The suggested movements were easy to do and frequently fun.

The practical advise written in this format helped my friend to move joints that were stiff, get up and walk, stretch, and look at each day with more hope of achieving some independence.
I gave away four of these and think they are the best.

The best explanation of how to exercise and stay younger I have found. Easy to read and understand, interesting and thorough. I need a reprint; my last copy is gone.
