title: A conditioning program for the elderly.
abstract: Elderly people often need a fitness program, both to improve their physical condition and mental outlook. Provided their medical examination shows them to be reasonably healthy, they may participate in regular exercise sessions which are "low-tempo" in type and free from a competitive atmosphere. Interval or continuous walking/jogging is recommended, or circuit training. Various indoor activities are described. Regular testing of progress is advocated.
