I would add one thing: seniors shouldn't underestimate what is possible. When I started lifting again earlier this year, I was advised not to think of myself as an old man trying to stave off my decline. I was advised to think of myself as a serious athlete training for something important. Even if you are only training to improve your health, that's important. That mindset makes a lot of difference. Six months into it, I enjoy lifting weights a lot, and I am starting to see some very positive results, both physical and psychological. I really like how it feels to push back against my limitations, just as I did when I was young.
I agree. Don’t limit yourself merely based on your age but based on your own abilities. People over 60 can vary drastically as far as their base conditioning.
I’ve been training for 47 years. Health professional, private practice, rehab specialist, owned multiple offices with rehab centers as well as having a personal training business. People/patients have asked me forever, “what’s the best workout?”. I always have the same answer: “the one that you’re going to do”.
64 yrs old here, been training full body 3 days a week for forty plus yrs. Also walking every day 30 to 60 mins. use free weights machines and bodyweight exercises.
I’m 75 and excercisjng 4-5 days a week for over 50 years,, cardio is the best,,do what you can , walking, jogging, cycle or swim or all if you can,, I did weights until I was 60 ,, bands work better for me,, maybe not for you,, that’s ok.. trust me,, your body reacts differently as you move towards 70..
This video contains excellent advice and I agree with all of it.
Also, all of the comments here are great, but everyone is missing one big factor- and that is nutrition.
It is imperative to cut out ALL sugar, keep bread intake to a minimum and limit alcohol intake to a couple drinks per month, if not eliminating it all together.
You cannot work off a crummy diet.
Yes your nutrition advice is on the mark. Bread is my poison and I try to stick to slow carbs like sweet potato and pumpkin. No sugar for me for 4years and I’ve gone from 135 kg to 96 kg and now strength training 3-5 times a week. The difference now either food is I love the taste of good healthy food and don’t need the sugar anymore. Also if I go to the bar to see my friends I drink soda water which was tough at first but now not a big deal although I don’t stay too late. Still having trouble sleeping 7 hours though.
Thanks for the discipline of mindfulness. Man cannot live by bread alone. So I read the Last Will and Testament of Jesus the Christ endeavouring to apply this investment. Coulda Woulda Shoulda says Beverly Knight in White Satin Pants. Go to the Ant and Dec He ain't heavy he's my 'Empty Tomb, Pick the bones outta that Buddha!

Congratulations on that weight loss, and for eliminating sugar and crappy carbs from your diet- and for sticking with it!!!!
@@saskaboom2009 When I'm active and working out, my body craves carrots. When inactive and sitting on the couch, my body craves carrot cake. It's weird how just a little activity can change your cravings.
62 here..couldn’t do 3 sets of 10 push-ups 2 months ago..now doing 60 reps in my first 2 sets..
Wow! Great improvement, keep it up
Early 60s… I created my own “cross fit” regimen. Kettlebells, resistance bands, push-up bars, medicine ball, stretch and crawl (practicing getting up and down to/from the floor). I enjoy the variety.. 9:36am start time each weekday. I walk 30 minutes in nature, Saturday n Sunday. I have noticed a huge improvement in my physique and mental state. Also, daily, I do a puzzle… and I read for twenty minutes. I play piano, too. I feel great.
Awesome!
Solid advice in this video! For myself, I aim for 6 days a week of activity. I alternate days of resistance training doing pushups/situps and resistance bands, then cardio activity such as biking or speed walking on alternate days. It’s important to make this a regular part of one’s day and week. If you do this for a month you’ll develop the habit, and you won’t feel right if you miss it.
Thank you- I turn 61 in November; people tell me I look as if I’m in my 40s. Being active is the key.
Awesome! Thanks for watching
Just turn 61 in June I walk 40-60 minutes every day.
Could not have found this at a better time. I'm 63 and basically starting over, scared as hell! But all your suggestions really do make sense. Thank you for the advice I really appreciate it
Love how your videos are so straight to the point.After a year off due to an injury, got back in the gym. You advice has been great!
Yardwork and gardening. Fresh air, sunshine and work up a good sweat. And a sense of pride in yourself and your environment.
I'm 62 and I'm in the best shape of my life. I started working out in high school and never gave it up. I still bench 300 pounds!
Started training in 1972 at 15. For years it was sport specific (wrestling), lots of deadlifts, lots of cleans and lots of pull-ups. Post competition years I would mix things up, HIIT, various splits. For the last few years I’ve been doing full body 3 times a week. Focus on the big muscle groups, compound joint exercises, push/pull hit the posterior chain. This is my therapy, feel like crap when I have to take time off. I plan on “going hard” until I’m no longer vertical. It’s been a lifestyle for me for over 50 years…
Thanks for sharing
Great advice. Fitness is a lifestyle and if your health permits you can still work out in later life. I am 80 and lift weights, play golf, ride a bike and walk. Had to stop running after a knee replacement. I look better and feel better, and so can you.
Keep moving forward good sir.
God bless you 🙏🙏🙏.
The important thing is to do something you enjoy, gets you moving and gets your heart rate up. Personally I walk 10k steps a day and I do weight training 4 times a week.
Good video. Was military for 26 yrs so always active at the gym. Ran a marathon after i retired and continued to work out. Took nearly a year off with hip pain, had a total replacement & now in rehabilitation. Back to the gym today for the first time. Need to create that habit all over again! : )
Welcome back to the fitness world, start slow & build! Thank you for your military service!

Movement is medicine.
Make physical activity/ fitness part of your day. Avoid injury by trying for slow steady progress. You are more prone to injury and slower healing as you age.
Discipline in food is in my opinion the Key factor for everything and after that just walking.
OMAD....cut the carbs!!!!!!!!!
Carnivore is the best way to
I agree with both of your points, but strength training should NOT be neglected.
Great advice, thanks. I'm 73 now, started with weight training at 66. My body was too skinny then (maybe even sarcopenia), as I was basically a vegan, at 175lbs. I hit the gym almost every day, doing both cardio and weights. Really changed my diet, all organic and loads of clean protein. After 3 years, my weight was at 215 lbs, and I was getting a little bit bulked, haha. It was awesome to be 69 years old and actually getting "the look" from occasional females here and there. And then I started getting over-confident, and next few years induced a variety of injuries, so I've had to scale back, weight is down to 205 now, But still hitting the gym at least 5 days/week. Enjoying the Hell out of it, trying to be careful of injuries.......
Very good info. Thanks.
Were you able to gain some muscle after starting working out? I’m 57 and skinny as well
Hello, great to hear so, i have a question for you, I am 66, 6 foot, 141 lbs, 18% body fat, go tobtge gym 3 times a week, full body sessions, don t eat meat, only fish and dairies, and I am stuck!! Can t put on some more muscle, very probably I am under eating...how many calories you take per day?
@@tchaliz4925 - yes, I totally understand about being underweight. That was me in the beginning. You need excess calories and protein. Mainly need MORE calories than you burn. The excess calories are mandatory to gain weight. I don't track calories, I track weight. When I had reached 215 lbs, it was because I ate MORE than I even wanted to, haha. My advice, eat healthy, and eat more than you may want to, until you reach desired weight. You'll need around 140g of protein every day as well. Obviously, don't just gain fat, you want to gain muscle, so you'll need CAREFUL strength training in that equation. I also do a small shot of T every week, ~80mg. I was doing more but had to reduce dosage because of high hematocrit (red blood cells). If you have Low T, that will make gains very difficult.
@@jim-et8ei - Hell yeah man, that 40 lbs I gained was mostly muscle. I was underweight when I started, so part of that gain was just getting back to normal.
just trying to figure out how to maintain my fitness w/o the more intense training. Happy where I'm at but soreness is an issue. 65 years old and in good shape.
Good advice this. At 64 I overdid my flex stretching and tweaked my Achilles Tendon. It’s put me out of action for months even walking was awful! Don’t over reach!
So true. At 65 I was going to the gym 3 x a week Did a full body workout and ran 1.5 miles after the workout. Unfortunately I started to notice some weakness in my shoulders. Turns out i have neuropathy. I think I was doing more than my body could handled. My advice would be is do a bit less that you feel you have to. Don't try to keep up with others and listen to you own body.
Again, honest reliable advice.👍👍
Guys my age, 60's have a tendency to overlook yoga. Guys, try to look at it as a full body stretch, you'll love it. I've followed Sean Vigue here on TH-cam, especially his "30 Days of Morning Yoga." 10-20 minutes a day has improved flexibility, balance and strength. Thanks for your video, it completely makes sense and is realistic.
I concur. I am familiar with yoga. However, I go to gym a few times per week and "stretch" ... it's similar to yoga that I did years ago but ... I call it "stretching".
@@21dewsbury If your 'stretch" for the gym is comparable to Coach Vigue then what's the problem? I doubt your stretch compares to the yoga workout that Coach puts out in the 30 day morning plan he has.
Sound advice! As a 60 year old I couldn't agree more with your perspective. Thank you, Cheers!
Thank you for watching & sharing your thoughts
I am 60 and a marathon runner and ultra marathon runner. I also do 150 pushups a day and planks. It keeps me young and it helps me run sub 19 5K's and Sub 1:26 half marathons. You are never to old to stay in shape!
Great advice for people who find themselves at 50, 60+ and have neglected their fitness until now.
Thank you
Thank you very much. I will stay tuned to your videos as I appreciate your honest and understandable direction. Thank you again very much.
I appreciate that!
Great advice! Been lifting close to 6 decades. May I add, especially for men hire a good trainer for about 6-7 sessions then refresh about once a year. It’s critical to have proper form. Too many people think they know how to properly work the muscle groups, they don’t unless instructed.
Thanks for the pep talk, the rest is on us.
I'm 82, do planks, crunches & leg lifts plus lifting weights ( 15/20#) 2 to 3 times a week. Then 2/3 days either walking for an hour or riding my bike abt 20 miles. I used to be able to walk at 15 minute per mile pace but have slowed to abt 16.5/17 minute pace.
Been doing this routine for many years. When I started I was lifting 5# weights.
So he's right, just be consistant, good things will happen.
Wow! Awesome job you’re doing! I hope to do this good at 82. Thanks for watching & supporting our channel
At 65 I cycle 🚵♀️almost everyday and when I’m off the bike I do resistance training body weight workouts…42.years of training and I feel great..diet is 70% good …keep going and be consistent for sure 👍
Walking is magical. It's worked for me even with peripheral neuropathy and a spine injury. Kettlebells for weight training work great if you want to do it at home.
Absolutely!
I just turned 61 and retired a month ago from a extremely physical job. My passion is motorcycle traveling and those big bikes are 900 lbs. I joined a gym almost immediately because even after a couple of weeks of not working, I could tell my strength was declining and the bike was starting to be hard to hold up. Even though I was active working, its amazing how much better I feel going to the gym 3 days a week and working on my property the other days. Like you said, just keep moving.
I know about the heavy motorcycles as I rode one for years until just a few years ago. Congrats on your retirement! Go enjoy retirement & stay safe!
Slow and steady gains are the best.You really don't have to make an extreme effort, just push yourself a little bit every workout.
I'm 75 and do resistance exercise 5 days a week which take about 10-15 minutes each day. I have been on a four year weight loss journey and have lost 60 pounds so far.
Great job!
Walking 3 miles a day for two years now at 64, it’s now not a chore but a enjoyable habit
I love snow skiing & slalom skiing, and to do these sports at the level I want, it’s important to have both good strength and cardio fitness. So having fun activities that I want to do for many years (I’m 62) with my family is my motivator for staying in shape. Plus it helps you feel good for everything else you do. Fun is a good motive IMO. Lots of good points in the video … reminds me I need to work more on flexibility!
Thanks for sharing!
67 year old part time bike messenger. 1 set of each daily. Press-ups, plank, sit ups, squats, bicep curls and hand relief. Healthy , happy and fulfilled.
Hand relief!?!?
I’m 59 now and have made strength training more of a part of my fitness routine. Two times a week because I love trail running and cycling which takes about 8hrs a week plus the two strength sessions. Everyday mobility and hip strengthening. It’s a lot of planning especially days I work but I have to do it, my job destroys me mentally and physically.
Thank you for commenting your thoughts
Sold my riding mower and bought a push mower. Try it
Thanks for the tips, really like your positive encouragement.
For someone like me - 62, slightly over ideal weight & am not on a regular fitness routine - how do I figure out my sustained safe upper heart rate ?
Best starting place is subtract your age from “220”
Light to moderate cardio every day, 30-60 minutes. Whatever you feel like. Sometimes, I do 90 minutes. Resistance training every other day, 30-60 minutes. If you aren’t feeling it, stop at 30 minutes. The key is to just start, even if you don’t feel like it. It amazes me how I am really not into it at all, but then all of a sudden, after fighting through the first 10 minutes, I start to feel good and really get into it.
Well said!
Great advice, thanks for your video. Very important to have a good diet as well. I follow the Mediterranean because it's not a fad (but have used keto in the past). At 59 I've been doing 3 to 4, 30 minute workouts at home pw, plus am active in home and garden maintenance. This keeps me on upper 10 percentile of my weight to height ratio and 35" waist. I dont belong to a gym as I probably would not make the effort to go, so at home use dumb bells and push ups for upper body and then focus on core (back cycles, planks, etc). I make it enjoyable by playing my favourite music and wearing nothing.
Thank you
Thanks 👍👍
Thank you too
An hour of squats today. An hour of back and shoulders yesterday.
Bench press on Thursday.
Overhead press on Friday.
Good mornings and Romanian Deadlift on Saturday.
I’m 64. Post cancer, chemo and surgery and total knee replacement and ankle fusion.
This is awesome! Keep up the great work!
Very good sensible advise.
Thank you!
Keep moving, got it!!
A Question. How often should you take a break from lifting and how long? I do take a couple of months off once and awhile, do something else. Hiking, walking, paddling, and have experienced even after months off, I just need a month to regain back to where I was starting easy and slow to "warm up". 55 years
If you’re lifting weights for strength and/or hypertrophy 2 months off is way too long unless you’re nursing an injury. 5-7 days off every 52 weeks is all I’d do. At 55 a better solution would be a 3 day lifting schedule. Thanks for the question!
Hi mate iam listening from Canada
There's one thing that never gets mentioned in a lot of videos and that getting out of a rut .... iam 67 and for many many years I was a martial arts teacher in a few different styles unfortunately since I beat covid I find it very hard to get back into the swing of things and find it hard to get going I know all the routines and exercises but can't seem to stick with it I know this is surprising considering my background . I was in ICU for 12 days completely in a coma from covid I had it before the vaccine came out so it was a while ago and ever since then it's been hard
Thanks for commenting. We will consider this comment & question in a future video. Are you ok with me giving you credit in the video? Thanks!
@@Fitafterfifthysure no problem. Thankyou
Excellent advice!
Walking in Nature worth its weight in Gold.
Totally agree
Park way out at the end of the parking lot when you have to go to the store. Run up stairs two at a time....not stomp up one by one, RUN! Stand as much as possible instead of always sitting, even when watching tv, stand for at least the commercials. Little things add up. I just retired on the 10th of september. I was a mechanic and was on my feet all day, every day. Didn't have a desk. I look 45 at 62 . I still wear the same size pants I wore when I was 30. 31 waist and I'm gonna stay that way.
Ref: balance & flexibility, I'm so glad I tried a free yoga class at a local library. I was reasonably fit, but had chronic back pain. After 6 months of weekly classes & 5+ home sessions a week, 90% of back pain was gone.
At 67 yrs old, I do moderate weight training one day, yoga & walking the next day, circuit training 3rd day.
Nice work
Great no nonsense advice. I really enjoy your videos. Keep em coming.
I appreciate that!
Good video. Any videos planned for 'fat loss' diet and meal plans with workout routines for us seniors? Thanks!
I'm a 66 years old veteran. My health exercise is just keep on walking. About an hour (brisk) almost every morning to start the day.
Thank you for sharing
I was a weightlifter for years, people thought I was a bodybuilder. At 62, I’ve had bilateral hip, and right shoulder replacement. I need left shoulder and both knees replaced now. The breakdown of my joints was not from sports I played or weight lifting, I just want to make this clear. As of today, I do five minutes of planks and 3 minutes of flutter kicks daily, I’ve been doing this routine for about 3 years. It works for me very well. I’m in shape, have a flat stomach, and no dad bod! I’ve noticed my deltoid muscles are returning which is a pleasant surprise. They went from very large to flat with the shoulder problems. So guy’s, it can be done. One day or day one, it’s your choice.
A plan and consistency is very important but life is also about a lot of restarts. Life can throw us off our plans but we just need to restart again and again.
I always walk everywhere.
I enjoy jumping rope.
I have fun most of the time.
Your workouts should be: Simple, sensible and Sustainable. 🏋️
64 now, major heart attack and surgery at 62.
Prior to surgery, bike, walk, and the big five (squat, deadlift, bench, press, row).
Back to walking and biking daily. Definitely need to add stretching and balance exercises.
Here’s to a full recovery!
@@Fitafterfifthy Thanks, work in progress!
Great video and great advice 🙂
Thanks so much!
I’m 79. I have found that as I age, my workouts have had to ‘move down’ - less upper body, more core and legs. Falls are the enemy, and your older sense of balance deteriorates. If you get off kilter, you need core/leg strength to recover and not crash. Get up on your toes, squat, do planks, front and back. Biceps/triceps won’t help, quads and calves are where it’s at.

"Rome wasn't built in a day". Best advice for a workout program and a thought that I have to keep in mind.
Great info thanks 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
63 - strength training (dumbbell upper body, goblet squats, core), 2-4 miles/week swim, and 1 60-90 minute 'ruck' per week.
Thanks for sharing
I'm 72 and have been lifting weights since I was 15. I still train and lift as much as I can and with more intensity than most everyone in the gym. Make no concessions to age.
Awesome!
Excellent!
Many thanks!
Yoga. Just started at 60.
62, HEAVY hit training 4 days a week and 10,000 steps a day.
I think an error for 60 plus is making your workout too easy. Push yourself. I am not into light weights at all...maybe in my 70s or 80s. You can start light but you have to push yourself...increase your muscle mass....
66 years old here. I walk just about everyday between 2 - 3.5 miles. 2 to 3 times a week I do the "bring sally up challenge" which is brutal. I do 3 sets of it. I used to do a ton of pushups. this is more challenging. I also do 15 minute dumbell work out which is very difficult. I try to watch what I eat .
Good job!
I started with yoga every day. At first 10/15 minutes a day , then 20/30, now 3o/60. I added weights 2 times a week, for me doing it daily even if only 10 minutes helps to make a habit. I am in my 3rd year and just joined a Jim for 3 times a week with a train plan. Feeling great at 65.
Just hit 80.. that photo of me is at about 70. 74...
Been doing isometrics and pulling or pushing weights around since I was 14.
But time does get to you.
But my trick. It is mainly being consistent..
I'm doing body weight exercises at home or while out walking.
Squatting.. stretching. Using exercise bands and light weights.
I'm thinking I need to go back into the gym they also have a swimming pool.
No. I don't look like Big Arnold !!!.. But I feel and look reasonably good for my age.
I just
Discovered this guy. And he is saying exactly what older people need to do..
Unfortunately time waits for no man.
But use that time productively.
Lose the use of your legs and mobility,
We lose our life.
I had a quadruple bypass 14 years ago
And both knees replaced 8 years ago.
What can I say 😵💫. Just keep moving
Thanks for your Video 🙂👍
Excellent message! Thanks for sharing & thanks for supporting our channel!
do you have to have a beard to stay fit? Thanks for the great video. Great advice to Have A Plan. All the best neal
Preparing for that favorite time of year! 😁 Thanks for watching
...and make sure it's joyful. You've lived and worked long enough to enjoy whatever you're doing...
Always!
As a 60 y/o who has been working out for 38 years, I'd like to add, when strength/weight training, form is paramount and always do such exercises at a slow to moderate pace. I see people of all ages in the gym using poor form and executing things WAY too fast, which puts you at a higher risk of injury.
"The best plan you can have is to just have a plan!"
I honestly cannot think of a better piece of advise that could possibly be given on the topic!
There's an old saying.... "Don't make perfect the enemy of good." The internet is full of advice on how to "do it right" and that's fine but in the beginning, DON'T worry about that. Just move. Just do something; do anything.
Refine, adjust and improve it as you go and as you pick up advice and tips but to start with, just get up and get moving and do it regularly.... Have a plan!
Yes, Rome certainly wasn’t build in a day. But Rum surely was drunk in a day...
Think you’re right about consistency being the most important thing.
I’m 65 and have been exercising most of my life.
But you’ll have to adjust to your age. Exercising doesn’t prevent you from aging. It’s more a matter of your health relative to your current age.
A couple of years ago I got overconfident in the gym and damaged some of my joints. It’s okay again now, but I had to acknowledge that my joints can’t handle the real heavy weights anymore.
I work out just as much as earlier but now with lighter weights. More repetitions though...
Summary:
1/ maintain an active lifestyle (regular gym, walking, canoeing, other outdoor activities)
2/ join a gym, develop a workout plan, go consistently 3-4x/week
3/ mobility
Physical exercise is always a good thing but in addition, we must remember that we are what we eat. Good nutrition is very important for overall good health. If you workout and then sit down to a few doughnuts and coffee with a couple of spoonfuls of sugar in it. You are wasting your time.
Workout everyday, keeps you fit. 63 years young and look better than 95% of people. Learn how to eat and what to avoid, 5 k run 🏃🏽♂️ Thursday
I began playing pickleball earlier this year. Due to my age (67) I will only play beginner intermediate two times a week. No more than two games. It can be tough on the joints so be carefull. Trust me serious stretching is required.
Eat fresh food. Drink more water. Walk. Take fiber. Take collagen. Stretch. Try inexpensive elastic bands. Work up to 4 sets of 25 pushups. Keep walking. Slowly learn and start lower abdomen exercises. Add new muscle groups when you can. Take your time. Expect slow initial progress. Don’t give up. If you do, take a couple of weeks, and try again.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Advice:
If you’re considering joining a Gym, be sure to inquire about whether the gym has HEPA air filtration systems in place. Why???
Just one person infected with Covid who’s exercising and has heavy breathing can infect scores of others. 💯
Gotta be careful about potential high risk exposure situations and factor in risk mitigation protocols. 💯🎯
This is why I prefer a home gym. 💯
Start slow. If you are too sore the next couple of days after you start a routine you’ll be discouraged. Patience. In a couple of months you’ll be on your way to better health and fitness.
it's good to hear this somewhere else than my own head. exercise will never make me 22 again, but it makes being 73 feel a bunch better.
Thank you for watching
I'm 65 and still working on my feet keep moving
Absolutely
If you slow down, you go down!
This is true
The longest lived people don’t go to gyms. They don’t lift weights and they don’t run on treadmills.
They eat sensibly, minimize stress, and move throughout the day.
Sitting is the new smoking.
Apparently you have never asked a friend who golfs to golf with you if you have never played😂
The guy in the canoe needs a life jacket.
you need to change your eating plan, you cannot out train a bad diet this is the very first thing, get blood test testosterone, estrogen, thyroid, if you can GH make sure everything is fine.
Last but not least make it burn. I train light now its amazing no more pains elbow shoulders knees lower back, but i make it burn, what ever it takes, and try to reach failure as much as i can.
Remove that mentality thing about compound every site tells people even older trainees to squat deadlift and bench and heavy, my sport doctor started to tell people to get off those exercises back in 2012 most of is patience were injured from cross fit and powerlifting. Ego lifts.
I split my training chest and triceps, back biceps, and legs delts, 3 sets of each exercises usually around 12 to 35 reps bonus you get some cardio in.
Aw you age, you can stay activate to some degree or end up sitting in a chair looking across the road *only* because you cannot walk over there and back safely,
You don’t think taking the cardio up a notch or two is worthwhile?
Cardio is for each individual to decide dependent on their personal goals. My cardio when I’m not training for competition is early am walking. But cardio when timed right is great, I just think it should be limited when trying to gain muscle.

Just put some comfortable shoes on and go out your front door and walk. A dramatically better workout than the gym. Plus no cost and no commutes.
Apart from jaguars taking their kill up a tree 🌲!
