I'm 72 years old and diabetic. There are significant limits on what I can do. My wife and I will do 30 minute walks 5 to 7 days a week. We go fast enough to get my heart rate up to the lower end of the aerobic zone. I also do strength training at the YMCA 3 or 4 days a week. I use the machines rather than the free weights. I worry about getting injured using free weights. I can't do many of the exercises other people have described here, but I do what I can. My weight is in the middle of the Normal BMI range, my diabetes is reasonably well controlled, and I think my strength is good for a 72 year old. My recommendation would be to find an exercise that you enjoy doing, do it often enough to improve your health, and take your time; don't rush it. If you injure yourself it'll set you back to the beginning. |
