I don't typically do any other form of "exercise"... I have never joined a "gym". I do play pickleball for 2-3 hrs twice a week.

That said... I have much respect for those who consistently do the gym routine.

For me at 59.5 I just try and keep from being fat and maintain my ability to pass the Army PT test I took in 1984. Lol

Good call, I want to start doing pull-ups too. I've been able to do them since HS, and was still able to do some 7-8 years ago, but I suspect it'll take some work to get back to doing any. The hard part is is that I don't currently have anywhere to do them. Hell, in HS I was able to climb a rope using only my arms. I'd love to be able to do that again, but not having a rope to climb...
