Ive heard it said that there are two types of people- weight people and cardio people. There is no doubt, and lots of research supports, that weight work is good for men of certain age. Aside form building muscle mass, it fires the metabolism and gets the whole system working better.
Not being a body builder, I have found a mix of the two is the thing. But the first step to feeling better is getting some weight off, and in that the bicycle is your friend. Kind to older ankles, knees and hips, serious bicycling is exceeded only by serous rowing for calorie burn. Ofcourse, biccylces wont ride themselves, but if you ride 1 hour @ 18mph you will burn 1000 calories. More than walking running swimming.
And they say- 30% exercise/training, 70% nutrition.
