Finding a qualified professional to
give you advice is easier than you might think. Start with your doctor.
In addition, there are other medical professionals who can tell you
what types of walking or stretching would be best for you, including:
- Doctors who specialize in sports medicine
- Licensed physical therapists
- Fitness instructors certified by the American College of
Sports Medicine (ACSM) to work with older adults
If you need assistance locating a qualified professional,
the following groups might be able to provide a referral:
- Your local hospital's preventive health
maintenance or exercise program
- Your Health Maintenance Organization's
(HMO's) wellness center
- Local colleges and universities that hold
exercise classes for older adults
- Your local parks and recreation department
