assistant
The best type of exercise for someone your age is one that is suitable for your fitness level and goals. Aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, cycling or swimming can help improve your cardiovascular health and raise your overall fitness level. Strength training, such as lifting weights, can help you increase your muscle mass, improve your ability to perform everyday activities and reduce your risk of injury. Yoga and other mind-body activities can help improve coordination, balance and flexibility. Be sure to talk to your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
