Celebrity trainer Steve Halsall has offered some advice for older people wanting to get into exercise.

Recent research by Tena Men suggested that regular exercise can help manage conditions such as adult incontinence and so it is important to take note of these tips.

Mr Halsall recommended getting the green light from a doctor or fitness professional before beginning a regime and being tested for blood pressure, lung function and heart rate.

Taking it slowly and being patient with your programme is also important and he continued that it might be advisable to take advantage of gyms offering free personal training sessions.

In particular he advised that brisk walking, yoga and low level exercise classes are good for promoting mobility, flexibility, a good heart and strong bones.

"Never delay your decision to start, you are never too old. Always take care and listen to your body," he also advised.
