According to Catherine Paddock of Medical News Today, doctors are perscribing more exercise as part of recommendations to patients. A recent CDC report notes a near doubling of an exercise perscription for those 85 and older from 2000 to 2010. A comprehensive CDC report on exercise and health is available here.
Those with diabetes and individuals age 45-74 years old were most frequently perscribed exercise. The information was gleaned from a survey of households by the US Census Bureau.
The U of Minnesota will be providing a series of stretching exercise videos "Gopher Stretches" that can be done in your home or office. They will be posted on this website during the next few months.
