The second of the award winning pair of videos from the center's "Fear of Falling" study. This video addresses common misconceptions elders have about exercise into old age and shares strategies to staying active. Exercise: It’s Never Too Late is a 16-minute motivational videotape that examines and attacks common misconceptions that elders have about exercise and what constitutes exercise. Exercise: It's Never Too Late teaches the viewer, through interviews with a diverse group of elders, about motivational strategies toward becoming and staying active while demonstrating that exercise is not just about jogging and pumping iron. The Exercise: It's Never Too Late videotape received the Bronze Apple Award 1995 from the National Educational Media Competition. The Exercise: It's Never Too Late program is currently used in the Strong for Life–Faith in Action (SFL-FIA) nationwide pilot study. "Some of what we have been calling aging all these years really isn't Aging at all, but is really due to prolonged periods of inactivity or just less than optimal levels of activity. Some of what we think is aging is in fact reversible and preventable at all stages of life." Maria A. Fiatarone, MD - Harvard Medical School VideoMany elders have the misconception that the only good exercise is the vigorous and painful kind that their bodies can no longer tolerate. Attitudes such as the "no pain, no gain" attitude lead the elder generation into believing that exercise is no longer an option for them when in fact even gentle exercise performed regularly will help improve their health, independence, and quality of life. The key messages to elders from Exercise: It's Never Too Late is that good exercise does not have to be exhausting and that strenuous exercise would be dangerous to someone who hasn't exercised in many years if ever at all. This fifteen minute video examines and attacks common misconceptions that elders have about exercise and what constitutes exercise.
