Many doctors now recommend that older people try to do some exercise every day. When you make your list of things to talk about with your doctor, you may want to include exercise. Your doctor may be able to tell you about exercises that can help you and exercises that you should not do.

For information about the types of exercises appropriate for older adults, visit the Exercise and Physical Activity for Older Adults topic at http://nihseniorhealth.gov/
