From my 33rd birthday, when I discovered almost by accident just how unfit I was, until about my 67th I ran at least 4 times a week (did first two London Marathons) then I did power walking and cycling, as my joints were beginning to be noticeable, and for the past 4 years I cycle 22 km 4 days a week (in around 48 mins).
I am probably fitter now at 71 that I was when I was 33.
Incidentally, I have had arthritis of the spine (ankylosing spondylitis) since I was 21, but fortunetaly I don't get much pain with it. I am fairly sure that the exercise program I have been following has contributed greatly to that. Also, I take Glucosamine Sulphate and that too has helped a lot.
I know it's 'horses for courses' but I would recommend a regular exercise program to almost everyone, but the most important advice, if one has not been into exercise, is start slowly. It cannot be too slow. and build up slowly. I have had friends over the years who have seen me running and thought they would have a go. Most ignored the start slowly advice, and after one run were in such pain that they never continued.
My mother walked about 1.5 miles to and from church every day, rain, hail, snow, up to the age of about 88. At 82 she did a 10 mile sponsored walk (she had gone to the start to make the tea for those taking part but when she saw how few turned up, she put on her shoes and did the walk) and then did it again each year until she was 88. She said getting the money in was harder than the 10 miles !
