I did aqua aerobics for 20 years, when I was in my 40,50,60's. I do not do it now, because I might be able to get in the pool, but I am not sure I could get out, and I have tried the chair lift (pretty scary at 92). Also, the facility I would be using has two pools, 1 the exercise is at 8 in the morning. Pool is not heated. Pool #2 is very hot and classes are around 2 p.m., and the outside temp is 102. In addition, I now have become very lazy, and just like to rest a great deal. I try to do little exercises when I am sitting like leg lifts, or ankle pumps anything to get the blood circulating. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and concern

It's so nice to hear from you, @gina5009. You are doing well at age 92, to be still thinking about the importance of movement. There are some good videos on YouTube which you can use free of charge. If you search YouTube for "seating exercises for seniors" you will find a good assortment of exercises that can be done seated.
