Educational objectives: 

The goals of this product are: 1. To provide learners an overview of the benefits of exercise in elders, and 2. To provide learners with practical strategies for encouraging exercise among their patients. The learner will be able to: 1. Describe exercises that have been associated with improved outcomes for specific medical conditions. 2. Assess your patient’s interest and willingness to exercise, using the “stages of change?” model. 3. Describe approaches to increase your patient's self efficacy in exercising. 4. Develop an approach to writing an exercise prescription using the FITTS method (frequency, intensity, type, time, and specific modifications). 5. Use the 5 step method to write an exercise prescription.

Additional information/Special implementation requirements or guidelines: 

This was used in an SGIM workshop and among fellows and residents at UCSF, for a total of about 100 people. It was used as a lecture and small-group session (faculty development, primarily).
