According to the National Institute on Aging: "For the most part when older people lose their ability to do things on their own, it doesn't happen just because they have aged.  More likely, it is because they have become inactive.  Inactive adults lose ground in 4 areas that are important for staying healthy and independent:  endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility.

Equipment: weights or 2 water bottles, 12-inch diameter ball , and a chair that does not rock or have wheels.
