Cardio/resistance training (but not weights) for health
Aging Well | Last Active: Apr 19, 2023 | Replies (29)Comment receiving replies
I appreciate all the input and it inspires me to keep being active. I will soon be 85 and am a female with no surgical history, but I know that to be healthy, sleep well and continue to be active that I must exercise. I do some form of cardio or strength training 5 days a week using DVDs. I read that folks over 50 should exercise at least 150 minutes a week.

Yes keep going! I started doing some resistance training with weights as I believe it will stand to me over the years. Plus as you mention, exercise helps with sleep. Between the metcon class on sat morning and a few cardio/weights/hillwalking sessions during the week, it feels great to choose an active, healthy lifestyle with less alcohol consumption and better diet.
