Squats: Place the beer on the BOTTOM shelf of the fridge for squats.

Hell Raises: self explanatory

Biceps curls: That beer ain't going in the mouth any other way.

5 days a week, 2 Hours, 23 weight machines on heavy weights 20 reps each, Yoga stretches for 15 minutes, 30 minutes of flat out cardio.

I think I can safely skip the “Three simple exercises”.

My doc said Squats 3x20...
Course he has us doing HIIT on the elliptical 3x a week, too

I would actually add something for balance.

I don’t know what it would be called, but standing on one leg at a time to strengthen the stabilizer muscles in the leg.

After mr. mm’s ATV rollover a few years ago, he needed a lot of PT and the leg that was the worse from lack of use was the one that got broken.

I’ve heard that that exercise done a few times a day can help prevent falls in older adults.

Better off hitting every major muscle group, and reps don't matter as much as touted. Two sets of ten is fine, or even two sets of 1 if you're doing pullups using full bodyweight while curling your legs from different angles to your chest to work abs. Just be sure to get it in once a week at least and never skip, the goal being to keep your muscles from turning to fat.

I like to use gymnastic rings to do horizontal back pullups and chest pushups since they offer infinite angles and hit all the ancillary stability muscles. Military presses with a pair of dumbbells, and heavy dumbbells for shrugs. Low weight deadlifts and bodyweight squats are fine for legs but should get to ten reps x2 asap.

This shows you everything you need to know:

I’d add crunches and push ups

And in the basement find a pipe or i beam and do pull ups

Lastly spend some time balancing on each foot in varying poses

I don’t recall what the muscle this works is called but this exercise (and similar ones which work the muscle) have been shown to lower blood sugar.
