I was always a big believer in lots of exercise. As those around me have gotten older I've been amazed at how functional they are after having abused their bodies with alcohol, cigarettes, poor eating, and lack of activity. I figured I've been overdoing it, backed down, and found I can maintain and feel great without inconveniencing myself.
I've learned the 4 basics to be strength, cardio, flexibility, and balance.
I do push ups on the counter while I wait for my food to cook or the water to get warm in the shower, etc. I put in a pull up bar on my bedroom door and do pull ups anytime I pass under it. I stretch and do balance work while I watch the sprinklers or TV. And since retiring, there's time to walk and bike anywhere I need to go.
Not much equipment needed and it can be done anywhere. There are plenty of good resources out there to help tailor a program of fun and easy things to do.
