The Scientific 7-Minute Workout

The Scientific 7-Minute Workout – NYTimes.com.

Just had to post this being a physical therapist and all. This demonstrates just how simple a basic fitness program can be. All of these exercises can be modified to make them easier for the geriatric set. For instance, when doing a pushup do it against a wall instead of the floor. When doing situps, support behind your back or do in a recliner. Don’t go all the way down when you do wall squats, just go a few inches. Use a stair instead of a chair for the step ups…and do pushups up from a chair using the arms of the chair instead of using the seat of the chair. Etc etc. Get creative. You can do it!
