Physical activity for everyone
These guidelines apply to all healthy people under 65 years of age or older. They also apply to people in these age limits with chronic diseases. People with special health problems, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, you might need to take additional precautions and medical advice before they will try to reach the recommended levels of physical activity for older adults.
There are numerous ways to encourage older persons to engage in physical activity, a total of 150 minutes per week.
In order to give physical activity, a total of 150 minutes a week, these sessions, you can assign shorter blocks, at least 10 minutes each throughout the week: for example, 30 minutes of physical activity of moderate intensity 5 times a week.
These recommendations apply to all older persons irrespective of their sex, race, ethnicity, or income. The recommendations also apply to older persons with disabilities, but can be adjusted on a case by case basis, taking into account the potential of such people to physical exercise, special health risks or restrictions.

Older people, who have so far failed to comply with the recommendations for physical activity, should seek to increase its duration, frequency and, ultimately, the intensity for the subsequent implementation of those recommendations.
