I have some clients that are 80,82 and 74 years old. I train them at their house so I tend to use a lot of household items adapted to what will work best for them. And I use a lot of garage stuff just for regular clients.

No but I am very interested in this concept! I love physical activity as opposed to exercise for a lot of people as they are not ready to begin a training program!
