"At age 81, I have more energy and flexibility than when I was 60 years old. First I started playing 5 rounds of 18 every week pushing my golf cart over hilly golf courses. At age 75 I quit golf and took up gym routine minimum 5 times every week.

All my health issues at age 60 have long disappeared. Don’t need any prescriptions. Just 1-aday vitamin pill is all I take now.
"

Thanks for the inspiration! I'm in my early 60s and having some difficulty but working on it.

The key is “gradual” working up into a exercise routine.
This is my main exercise video. It keeps my heart in good shape and the wrist weights strengthen upper body by swinging arms.

Notice I do not run, just walk at 25-26 minutes/mile pace, and cover 1 mile distance 5 times a week.
The treadmill is set 1-1/2 to 2 degrees up depending on my mood that day. After the treadmill, I will drink half a glass of water and then pull 15-20 lb (total) weight on the weight machine 23 times. At age 81, I do not need speed, just need to keep some tone in body.
