Focus on Accessibility and Affordability
Physicians should become familiar with the accessible exercise facilities and programs in their community. Put together
a handout listing the local health clubs, senior centers, YMCAs, community-organized exercise programs, walking clubs,
and accessible parks and malls for walking. Ask your active elderly patients where they go for exercise and incorporate
their experiences into your repertoire of advice for your lessmotivated patients. It is important also to recognize the relative costs of each option. Be creative in thinking of low-expense activity options. In bad weather, elders can walk the local mall or indoor high school track. Most cities and towns have affordable exercise classes (walking clubs, aerobics, strengthening, and dance classes) geared toward seniors.
