For Core/abs Try some of those reistence rope things (the rubber tube things) and have him do an excercise already from the seated position so he would be pulling down and just compacting a bit at the end of the rep. That might help. I think any ab excercise from a seated position would be an easier motion to compress down rather the use his abs to lift into a rep.

Good to know.

Can he do them if you hold his feet? My grandpa is 76 and can't do a situp on his own. The reason is that he tries to lift his feet for some reason instead of flex his core muscles to pull himself up.

Yeah, I'll try holding his legs the next time. He has no problem doing the lower abs version: raising his legs up from the supine position but his upper abs are just really weak.
