Susan-
Thanks for your reply. It codified a lot of my rambling thoughts on the issue and was very helpful.
The situation is this:
I rent a room in the house of a man who is bringing his sedentary 84 year-old mother to live here in September. He and I are both appalled at the condition she has been allowed to sink into, and I'm determined to put her back on her feet. She isn't really sick, and she isn't overweight (small mercies) but she's just terribly out of shape.
Working with her will offset part of my rent, and having her stronger will benefit everyone who cares for her and maybe give her back some kind of life.
No one is more convinced or aware than me of the critical part exercise has in maintaining health. When this lady arrives in September I'll be looking at my 79th birthday, so the poor-frail-little-old-lady excuse isn't going to cut her any mercy from me.
