I'm 70 (god, that was hard to write) and was an avid walker and hiker. Did jazzercise 3 times a week. Lately all that went away while caring for eldery mother. And the local YMCA was closed which didn't help either. Lately my leg muscles are starting to atrophe or something. We have full time caregiver now so I have no excuses but OMG it's hard to get started. Just got a nice long yoga mat from Amazon (I'm 5-10) and found a morning stretch routine online.
Recently traveled to Europe. A 75 yr old man in the group does a 30 min stretch routine every morning and you should have seen him going up and down the roads to castles and around the lakes we visited.
I'm convinced! It's the getting started and committing to a routine that's the hardest for me. Going to start also with low impact class at Y.
