Tai Chi is an ancient martial art focusing on subtle movement, coordination and balance. As a martial art, it's much more art than martial. This is a wonderful exercise for the elderly as speed is not a requirement. And regardless of age, many use Tai Chi as a form of stress relief as well as for fitness.
If you take kindly to Tai Chi, Yoga would be a next healthy step. Yoga is not as vigorous as Tai Chi but still quite applicable for senior fitness. It works to strengthen and lengthen muscles, as well as improve flexibility. There are many yoga positions and routines specifically designed to alleviate back pain.
