I agree with @merpreb about going to a reputable gym.
If you can drive, I strongly suggest joining a senior exercise class that focuses on balance, strength training and stretching for older people. So many of us have secondary insurances that allows you to have a free Silver Sneakers type of membership.

While exercising at home is great, most of us need a disciplined approach and having to go to regular gym classes with people in the same age group is both motivating and a big plus social wise. I’m 81 and I do walk almost daily and have some routines I do at home it I know I would not be the way I am today if I had not started senior gym classes 8 years ago. I am strong and healthy and have made some great friends over the years from attending these classes. Our gym instructor is a fantastic 82 years young who still teaches core classes and has balance classes on weekends in addition to my class. My gym also has chair yoga and other classes geared to an older population.

We all have the same aliments and vagaries of age and so does our gym instructor who has had three shoulder surgeries. So I suggest investigating nearby gyms to check out what they offer and find out who actually gives the class. And then…ladies…get some cute gym clothes and tie up sneakers. Looking good makes you feel good. You guys too…don’t go to the gym with slip on shoes, long pants and belts. Get some loose flexible tops and shorts and pay the money for good sneakers.
And then…do what you can do and get addicted to it.

I'm about to begin with a personal trainer at our local gym. I also walk regularly and use CBDs to alleviate arthritis pain. Now I'm attacking muscle tone.
