I do interval training 3 days a week, cycle one day, and cardio machines the rest.

The guy is a kid. I just turned 80 and I walk 3 miles a day in the Texas sun, I belong to a water aerobics team, drink Peroni and still have a steady aim

I am 78. Slowing down but still can jog around the block.

I’m this guy’s age.

But I’m not on a mission.

Walk a mile on my treadmill six days a week.

It takes me 33 minutes and 20 sec.

That’s my happy place.

I’m not interested any more physical exercise that I get doing my daily routine.

I do like to exercise my brain and play 4 suit Spider Solitaire for hour or so two or three times a week.

I hope it works for him.

Once you get to 130 to 140 minutes of strength training per week, your longevity benefit becomes the same as if you weren't doing anything

I’m 73. Been weight training and cardio for 40 years.
Most people think I’m 20 years younger than I am. Including doctors.

Closest thing to the fountain of youth in my opinion is responsible levels of weight training and cardio activity. Doesn’t hurt to find things to keep your mind active and stimulated as well.

Nothing fancy for me. I walk the roads around here for 30-60 minutes a day at about a 3.5-mph pace, and putter around the place for strength training. So far I can still lift and move what I have to, but then I’m not even 70 yet (only a couple of months to go).

Geez, I have to make a program for myself. The problem is that I don’t enjoy exercising.

The absolute best thing seniors can do to keep healthy is to be physically active and also to keep trim. I do not do exercise machines or run. I go outside every day to do manual labor that involves heavy lifting, bending, stooping, crawling and climbing. Current project is felling trees, cutting them into chunks and running them through the log splitter.

Next project is a major roof modification. The list of things to do is endless. Another remarked his aim is good, so is mine. With a private rifle range I handle a 12 gauge semi auto doing rapid fire with ease.

Those earmarked for early graves are the obese ones that retired with a six pack of beer in one hand and the TV remote in the other.
