The nurse planning to implement a tai chi program at a senior center is meeting resistance by program attendees. How should the nurse respond to the resistance?
1. "Tai chi is the only type of exercise that will benefit the immune response in older people."
2. "There is no research to show that tai chi has benefits, but just getting out and moving helps."
3. "Studies have shown that tai chi will help reduce the levels of IgG and IgM in the circulatory system."
4. "Studies have been shown that tai chi is beneficial to cardiorespiratory function, mental control, flexibility, and the immune system."

Rationale: Studies have shown that exercise, whether aerobic or resistance can prevent or slow the age-related decline in the immune response.
