Need advice on training 80 year old clients

[macwilly]

I have a couple of new clients starting tomorrow and 2 of them are in their 80's with heart conditions. What are some safe exercises that I should go with? Thanks

hmm ok if you want to do the sensible thing you ARE NOT going to train them tomorrow, nor are you going to train them any time soon as you aknowledge you have no idea what to do with them.

these clients are classed as HIGH RISK and you shouldnt even think about training them until you are well versed in appropriate exercise persciption.

BUUUUT no doubt you will not listen to me and you'll just train them anyway so be sure to focus on mobility exercises and do nothing too strenuous as they are probably very deconditioned and as you said, have heart conditions.

Just put em on da bench press brah. Load that baby upp! They gon be jacked in no time, and if they dying on the floor, just raise your voice like every good trainer does and tell them to walk it off and do the next set.

LMAO.

Spend MAJORITY of the time on easy warmup alone, maybe try one or 2 super easy exercises after that such as; no weight(or light med ball) step ups working on balance, and inclined pushups or something easy. +good flexability/stretch after
