here is an old guy tip: don't wait until age 65 to start strength training, i.e. trying to add some muscle mass.
i was a tall spindly kid, avoided sports (not good at anything), loved my bike and rode a lot during summer - but no muscle development. now it is too late to try to add much muscle mass.
my thought for a long time was i didn't want to carry the extra mass (and strain joints) or eat a lot more to feed the extra muscles. not to be an arnold, but i should have tried to be a bruce lee. it was not until i was 70 that i finally learned how to feed myself correctly. so, avoiding eating extra junk was dodging a bullet.
and i do think the aerobics was a really good choice. it sets the foundation for health.
