What exercises help to increase muscle tone as we age?

Scheduling the exercise for a specific time is a good idea. Or incorporating my simple exercises into other needed activities might help. Side kicks as I handwash the dishes? Marching in place as I brush my teeth? I just discovered mini leg lifts as I type this. Let the counting end and just do them to a timer where I pre-timed the number of lifts, 10 in a set, and 3 sets/day.

Thanks for stimulating my thinking.

One more - reaching/stretching as you fold laundry. I throw it in the middle of the big bed, place the piles all around, then fold & stow as fast as I can. A week of laundry is about a 15 min workout. I also do "aerobic cleaning" when I clean, sweep, mop, vacuum & dust. I can do my 2 BR house in 30 minutes if nobody is in the way.
