the problem with doing the heavy lifting for old men is that it can injure the shoulders if entered into too quickly. That’s what’s happened to me. Now all I can do are aerobics. I have to stay away from anything that strains my shoulders.

Ride a bicycle.

Strengthens the legs, low joint impact, strengthens the CV system, reduces adipose tissue, sharpens mental acuity.
