FAQs — Home Exercises for Older Adults | My Virtual Trainer

Question 1

Is My Virtual Trainer suitable if I haven't exercised in a long time?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. My Virtual Trainer is designed specifically with beginners and returning exercisers in mind. Every session is gentle, clearly explained and built around real life, not gym culture. Whether it's been months or years since you last exercised, you'll find everything here is designed to help you start at your own pace and build gradually from there.

Question 2

Do I need any equipment?

Accepted Answer

No equipment is needed for most of the programmes. The majority of exercises use your own bodyweight and can be done at home with just a chair for support. Some programmes, such as the Stronger Every Day book, introduce optional resistance bands, but these are inexpensive and easy to find. You'll never need a gym membership or specialist equipment.

Question 3

How long are the sessions?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are designed to fit into a normal day. Most are between 10 and 20 minutes long, short enough to feel manageable, but effective enough to make a real difference over time. The goal is to build a sustainable habit, not to exhaust you.

Question 4

Is My Virtual Trainer suitable for men and women?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all programmes and content are designed for both men and women. The focus is on building strength, improving balance and maintaining independence, which matters equally to everyone. Many members are in their 60s, 70s and 80s, and the exercises are adapted to suit a wide range of abilities.
