@73 Reds Glad it helps. This is a good spot for young and old. The old guys, me, Deal, James

have had good success. The young guys have posted great stuff and workout routines. Something for everyone. Keep the body strong & fit - everything else follows for the boost in energy.

 

Keep the ideas coming.

Well, my best advice is keep moving.  Even if you don't engage in a regular exercise routine, almost everything presents a way to stay fit.  Take the stairs rather than an elevator.  Don't look for the optimal parking space; rather park in the perimeter (and save your car from dings and dents too).  Walk to lunch, the post office or any errand within walking distance if you have the time.  If you're sitting at home, in an office or cubicle and aren't dressed up, do some pus-ups, sits ups or calisthenics at your desk.  And forget about what anyone else thinks.

When you get really old- walk! My grandfather lived to 94 with half a neck (removed in his 60s due to esophageal cancer from smoking), had a brick wall fall on him breaking half is body (he worked construction his entire life in the bronx after emigrating from Italy - after surviving a fascist POW camp in WW2 eating rats). Our family has been landowning farmers in southern italy for more generations than i can count- so after "retiring" from construction he spent all day maintaining the modest flower/veg gardens at his house and my fathers, 3 miles away. 6 miles walking every day, then 3-4 hours per house gardening. The guy was one coiled spring of sinew, essentially. Eventually his body gave out, went to hospital, died 3 days later. Aside from those 3 days he walked and worked every day.
