As I get older, staying in shape becomes more important, for me personally that translates in to running 4 miles, three times a week, and cycling a 12 mile route, also three times a week. I have Wednesday as a exercise free day to let the elderly muscles recuperate!

I agree that pumping iron is unnecessary, even in my opinion unwise, my upper body is worked by sawing and chopping wood to feed the stove and a lot of gardening, we grow most of our own veggies.

But a holistic approach is vital, so watching what you eat and your weight should be part of any lifestyle.
