Some data suggest that men who lift weights a few times a week in their 50s and sixties can halt mucle loss ! I am 59 yo and in the past 3 yrs have been working out to some degree every day weights and or cardio 30 mins to an hour! I don,t eat exactly as I should but I eat better than most! I am up to 232 lbs. some fat in places but not enough to slow me down. I don,t lift heavy weights, 20 lbs. dumb bells mostly, I work the the set till I can't lift them and then a rest afew mins and do it again! Twice a week I do push ups, about 200, 50 at a time. I also do squats with the 20 lbs bells in my hands. My blood pressure is great, all my blood work says I'm in good condision. I take no meds at all. Oh and by the way I'm standing at this computer not sitting!

at one time i hated the commercials on tv. then i discovered those 5 minute commercials were just the right time to exercise.i bet you only have 10 to 12 minutes of programming (rest) before the next commercial.

My gym exercise is only a start.
When alone watching television daily, I also lift barbels. Exercising with training can be safely added to, with safe repetitions during alone-time.
