Still just a 'kid', near my mid sixties, laying the foundations now of a fit and happy, seniors long life.
A friend, from the Biggest Loser, Exercise, chat forum, caught a bit of Oprah yesterday & it was on the secrets of living to an old age..............and I mean OLD, talkin 95+++ here. 

One of the main things, as you may have already guessed was exercise, be it in daily activity or specific training. 

My freind said:- 'One lovely old dear was close to 100 & she could still lift a 'mean' weight  & was on her exercise bike going like a demon!  It was really inspiring to watch'.

I love positive aging stories. I once saw two sisters in thier late 90's demonstrating sit ups on TV.  They said they only began to exercise at age 85.  It is never too late to start, make sure you get a health check  up first and if prone to or recovering from injuries, ask a physiootherapist or sports injury trained fitness instructor to guide you how to safely exercise or even ask if there is a expertly supervised, seniors heart and or bone health exercise program in your area.
