Trying to get my parents (>60 yo, with knee problems) to exercise but they’re stubborn. Any tips that worked for you?

if they like to travel and go on vacation, then do that.... sure have to walk... at least more than normal...

or if they like shopping and/or look see look see things, then take them to malls etc.

u get the point... needing to go somewhere forces one to move more.

Can get physiotherapist to come to your house, they dovslow and nice. My mom in law 84 yrs old does it weekly.

if they have very bad knee pain to begin with its normal that they are reluctant to exercise.

Money money money. 60 yrs still young. bring them travel one time , they will know how important of walking and see more things. e

I am not 60 but for me even starting workout it's hard. You need stay consistent for at least 2months only start to see some result. Result is they must really want to do it or introduce someone 60> with muscle and strength. Show them the difference

1st how much money you have to keep travelling
2nd If tired just dont go so this technique confirm won't work

My father is 70+ . he can lift heavy and a lot strength people younger than him

Stop didacticism with unker.
Unker got reserve power inside, u still don't know

Wear knee guard and bring them to park where they can see all the greens, walk then have a good rest, have a good chit chat, it will encourage them to exercise

In my experience, you cannot save people from themselves. They either will or won't do right. All you can do is explain it, then encourage them, and if they still don't, then let it go.

It may be difficult to watch people make wrong choices from which they suffer, but it's ultimately their choice.

Try involving them in something social. My parents refused to do anything alone but joined a group class at the community center after a friend invited them. Once they had people to talk to, they started showing up regularly without me pushing them
