Be careful not to sound like you are "testing" her with your questions and back off if she seems frustrated. If she is cognitively fine, asking her the days of the week will be insulting. If she is having memory problems and she doesn't know the days of the week it might be painful to be reminded. Just watch her reactions closely and make adjustments accordingly.
If there is any question about what kinds of movements are good for her, discuss it with her doctor or ask for an evaluation by a physical therapist before you begin.
It is so nice that you want to promote your mother's well-being and are willing to spend some time on it.
