Senior Citizens and exercise

My mother who has never exercised in her life has decided at her 60 + years to take up yoga. She consulted her doctor who encouraged her and told her it was very important for seniors to take care of themselves but with caution. What type of exercise is right for seniors really depends on the senior and their abilities. After a certain age most people have health problems that they should take into consideration before doing any type of sports.
Yoga is one of those exercises that is very recommendable as well as Tai Chi, or simply just walking. The most important thing is to keep your body moving so we can keep youth at our side.
