What are the three exercises?
1. Squats 3x10
2. Heel raises 3x10
3. Biceps curls 3x10
Yet another good (and for me, relevant) post from CC27.
Thanks!
Good Stuff. +1
I’ll add the Heel raises.
What about push ups?

Keep On Moving or it Rusts.....that includes your mind. Keep active physically, mentally, and Spiritually. Always be learning new things and taking on new hobbies, experiences and drink lots of water.

Hmmm...
Never mind “just” three exercises...
I’m 92.6, and between the ages of 50 and 80, I spent 4 days a week at a World Gym performing intense workouts...
I regret stopping at 78... But declining 1RMs started, so I just continued as a trainer for a few years...
Since then, my chief exercise is driving my wife to various casinos...
For liberals, jumping to conclusions on no evidence.
I will turn 70 this year. Twice in my life I have been flat on my back, practically unable to move. People who do not know how to drive ran into me.
Whatever your age and condition, GET UP AND MOVE, a little, or more.
After each car accident, I started to move. At first, just around the house. Later, around the block. Previously, I had reached some great levels of exercise, bicycling 100+ miles a day. I knew I could/would recover from the accidents. Walking around the block does not compare to climbing a mountain on a bicycle, but it was what I could do at the time.
There are times when you have to listen to your body, and rest. Often, once you start moving, a little or a lot, you will find your body wants to move. A long time ago a great chiropractor taught me that one of the best things for a stiff lower back is a walk around the block.
There are so many ways to incorporate exercise into your day. When I am carrying groceries, I do bicep curls. If I am someplace, waiting for a little while, and there are stairs nearby, I will do some stair climbing.

Where were you when I was in my 60’s?
Bicep curls? An isolation exercise working a single muscle the size of an orange?
The condition of the major muscle groups in your legs and bun is a predictor of how long you will live.
I’m not fanatic about exercise, but I do try to walk each morning and do some light calisthenics and weight stuff during the day, whatever I happen to feel like doing. That and puttering around the place is about it for me.

I would add a simple pelvic exercise to keep that bladder in check. The squats may help it, but some exercises you can do IN BED is right up my alley.
Keeping moving is a good idea at any age. But there are certain factors that need to be kept in consideration so that you don’t make things worse. 4 years ago I had a stroke that affected my left side. About a year and a half ago I started working out at a gym with the weight machines about an hour three times a week. I built up muscle fast but the activity made things worse For my left arm,I was losing function even though it was getting stronger. The loss of function was due to the increase in spasticity from the weight training. 3 months ago I stopped the weight training and my left arm has returned pretty close to what it used to be.
Your Grandad war right. I’m 72, just spent the last two days racking and stacking 5000 lbs of gorgeous Doug fir firewood with work gloves and a wheelbarrow. (I know it’s way early but it was **ON SALE**! If it’s on sale, you gotta do it. Ladies, help me out here.) If I were cooped up in an urban box I’d die.
