Grampa's Grinder

Now, notice I was very precise; this thread is about a GRINDER not the notorious grindr!
"Grampa's Ginder" is the concept I have for a new day-time TV show. It's basically a "body building for geriatrics" concept, targeted to my age group and older, and most specifically those who would fear having a heart attack if they ever had to get all the way down on the floor (to crawl under a desk for that damn pair of reading glasses that got knocked off) and get back up again. In other words, old people who are so out of shape, the mere mention of "physical fitness" is likely to illicit blank stares if not scorn.
I'm half way serious about this. There needs to be someone on the TEE VEE breaking PRACTICAL MOVEMENT down in very fine detail -- and SHOWING THEM how "working out" can be something very simple, but vitally important.
Take, for example, this fine young man who, in the space of three youtube videos, breaks down the concept of SQUATTING.
(If you found #1 interesting, be sure to watch all 3)
Of course his target audience are people much younger than I'm talking about -- people who want to do a proper weighted squat with a barbell on their backs. But what interests me, here, is how physical movement is broken down into its component parts, step by tiny step. The same thing could be done for how to sit down into and get up out of a chair -- or how to learn to maintain your balance so you're less likely to fall (this happens a lot to old folk). I'm not exactly sure what the "hook" would be that would get these old farts interest, but I bet some truly savvy marketing guru could come up with something. For sure there would have to be sex appeal -- one's hardly ever to old for that -- but it would have to be *interesting* too, in some way.
Perhaps it could be MCed by this guy:
