  • Have a list of appropriate exercises for older adults, together with templates for workouts that are modifiable.
  • Have an understanding of the impact of chronic illnesses or age-related illnesses and how to work around them, and what modifications you can make to exercises for people in pain.
  • Know what questions you should ask a doctor, physio or physician who oversees your older clients, to enable you to better understand your work with them.
  • Know what assessment and client history is relevant to you as a trainer or practitioner.
  • Know how to get older people moving again, increasing motivation and adherence.
