Resistance Exercise Recommendation for Older Adults

Exercises should target the major muscle groups to include upper and lower body.

-Aim for 3 times per week, 8 to 10 exercises, 2 to 3 sets, 10-15 repetitions

Example include sit to stands, knee extensions, chair marching, bicep curls, seated chest press, and shoulder press.

As your personal trainer, I will develop an individualized program to meet your needs. A program may be develop for chair/seated resistance training for those in wheelchairs or limited mobility. Depending on ability, standing exercises will be included to increase the intensity of the program.
