Exercise Prescription for LifeA Continuum to Fall Prevention
Walking Away From Disease And Disability
Warm Up
1) Reduce risk for injury 2) Gradual increase of pressure
and heart rate. 3) Increases circulation in legs. 4) Warms Muscles. 5) Types of Warm up Light Walking Light Cycling Balance Exercise Movement and Light Stretching 5 to 10 minutes
Cardiovascular Fitness 1) The heart, lungs and blood
vessels deliver adequate supply of oxygen to large working muscles.

RPE Borg Scale 6 7 very Very Light 8 9 very light 10 11fairly light 12 moderate 13 somewhat hard 14 15 hard 16 17 very hard 18 19 very very hard 20
Muscular Strength and Endurance Strength Training
1) Helps to maintain lean body weight and muscle mass.
2) Perform 2 to 3 times a week with a day rest in between.
3) Light Dumbbells, Thera- Band, rubber tubing.
4) Exercise within range of motion without pain or excessive weight.
5) Start with one set of 10 until mastered and increase to two sets.
6 ) Extremely important and helpful in reducing blood sugar.
Flexibility 1) Flexibility Decreases after the
age of 25. Increasing risk for injury.

Stretching 1) Best when muscles are warm;
during and after workout. 2) Static Stretching. Holding
Stretch for 30 seconds on each side.
3) Only stretch to comfortable range of motion increasing as muscle allows.
Cool Down
1) Brings Blood Pressure and Heart rates down gradually.
2) Aids in preventing muscle stiffness or soreness.
3) Prevents pooling of blood and promotes adequate flow to muscles and heart. Increases circulation.
Slow Walking Stretching Slow Movement
Body Composition Body Composition and Risk
for Heart Disease.
1) Body Mass Index.
