  2. Where do we begin?? • Our role: Fitness Trainer • Our Clients: Older Adults, 75+ yrs • The 6 Steps of Exercise Programming

  3. Step 1 • Determine Level of Function • Physically Dependent: Cannot execute the Basic Activities of Daily Living(BADL). • Physically Frail: Can perform BADL, but not living independently. • Physically Independent: Lives independently, but can have chronic disease/health problems. • Physically Fit: Benefit from exercising two times a week, with low risk of becoming physically frail. • Physically Elite: Daily exercise to compete in sports competitions

  4. Step 2 • Pre-Exercise Screening • Paper work and waivers (to avoid malpractice lawsuits) • Level of need • Background information • Medical History and Clearance

  5. Step 3 • Physical Screening • Blood Pressure • Body Composition • RPE • Flexibility • Talk Test

  6. Step 4 • Post-Assessment Report • A report conducted 1-3 days after the physical screening with the client.

  7. Step 5 • Pre-Exercise Interview • Questions involve: • What do you do in your daily life? • Are you still working? If so, what does your job entail? • Do you face ladders, stairs, or lifting? • How do you spend your time away from work? • Do you participate in regular physical activity? • Do you experience pain during any movements?

  8. Step 6 • Physical Assessment • The physical assessment is a gathering of all the information and test results that help set the stage for the exercise program design. • Helps decide the FITT principles that will be used in the clients exercise program.

  9. Program Design • Based on FITT Principle: Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type • Always begin with a Warm-Up activity • Blood flow • No heavy stretching! • Easy range of motion and gentle continuous movement • General static/preparatory stretching, comfortable stretching point • New movements are taught at this point to prevent future interruption during workout

  10. Program Design • Always End with a Cool Down Activity • Includes light activity to allow the muscles to recover • Static stretching to the point of discomfort • Stay positive, get excited for the next days workout!

  11. Types of Program Design • Leveled Programming • Open to any person who is able to exercise without any requirements from physically dependent to physically elite • Land-Based Programming • Entry Level • Level II • Level III • Water-Based Programming: • Entry Level • Level II • Level III
