Help me, help my mother.

Hello!

I'm trying to put together a small program for my mother. She is about to turn 50 and she wants to take better care of her self. So I thought I would help her. I was hoping you could give me some advice on how to build a program for her.

Two requirements:

• It shouldn't be to long.

• She have some lower back pain from time to time, so it should be strengthening her back too.

Here is what I had in mind:

Warmup - The mobility warmup form phraktured's "Molding mobility".

10 - 20 reps of:

• Wall extensions

• Band Dislocates

• Cat/Camel bends

• Full Body Circles

• Front Leg Swings

• Side Leg Swings

The Workout

To save time I was hoping she could do a circuit of:

• Pushups

• Rows

• Squats

• Glute Bridges / Light Deadlifts once a week.

and repeat 3 times.

Then end things with Phraktures "Starting Stretching".

I think that doing all sets of each exercise before moving to the next, would simply take up to much time for her.

And finally, I was thinking of letting her do the 5 - 8 rep range. And never to go to failure.

A couple of other things you might need to know about:

• She hasn't trained much before.

• She is a bit overweight.

Please give me all the feedback you can!
