Here is what I suggest for someone that age who will benefit mostly from gaining flexibility vice endurance. Tai Chi is a healing art well-known among the elder in China. I suggest checking your local senior recreational center to see if there are any offering for this exercise modality. If not, then you can buy a DVD that offers a beginner level Tai Chi and she can use it at home. There are other gentle movements in yoga that most sedentary people can practice. The health benefits of both, yoga and Tai Chi are medically documented. Elderly people also enjoy gentle dancing movements. It does not matter what type, just make it fun for her.
