Answer 1

First of all, Jose and Jessie have a big difference when it comes to physical health and condition. Jessie is not able to perform the same exercises as Jose, neither the same intensity, and they cannot have the same goal.

So, for Jessie improve her flexibility we have to consider low intensity exercises, specifically, aerobic exercises, like walking, dancing, jogging at a low pace, pilates and yoga. Jessie, as a sedentary person most consider to do those aerobic activities three times per week, at least 30 minutes to ensure that she is demanding enough effort from her body, but all at low intensity.
