Thanks for the reply, asking for my mother who is 86 and I think she could only do mini cycle or some type of light chair exercise. She walks humps over and I think motivation is an issue as well

@bilton Since the pandemic and having to stay at home I have started using YouTube exercise videos daily. You can find almost anything there. Check it out. Some of the videos which I use don't specify an age group but many are for seniors and beginners but perhaps a bit too advanced for your 86 year old mother. I am sure you could find something though. I have found them very helpful. I am 73.
The Silver Sneakers exercises are really geared to older people too. I don't do them because I am beyond that level, having been exercising for over 5 years now. There are some that use very light dumbbells, like two pounds each too.
