I’lol be 79 in August, live alone with two dogs, 10 acre property,home, two outbuildings, two cars. My wife passed away a year ago in June from cancer. No words can express how much I miss her. She was the landscaper, gardner, kept the home clean, great cook/baker. I have always done the home repairs, a couple additions, took care of most anything mechanical. Anyway, now I do the housecleaning, vacuuming,dusting, laundry, cooking (which I suck at). Mow the lawn, about 1.5 acres, some by hand around her flower beds, which I now take care of. Walk the dogs. I’m busy all day long, well into the evening. Exercise? F*#k that! I get plenty of push/pull, lift,grunt,groan, walk run. Don’t need a gym, weights. Today I bought 15-60# bags of red river stone for a converted flower bed I dug up, Roto tilled and will be spreading the stone today. I am interested in tai chi though, but gotta find a class locally. Getting old ain’t for sissy’s gents!
