Critical Thinking: Musculoskeletal

Scenario:

A 72-year-old man lived a fairly sedentary lifestyle as an accountant. Now that he is retired, he recognizes the need to be active to maintain his health as long as possible. He is concerned, however, that it is too late for him to start exercising because he has never engaged in such activities. 

 Questions:

• What encouragement, if any can you give him?
• What suggestions can you make for an exercise program?
