[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]44F here. Not an 80yo-goal setting mindset, but a preventative health mindset:

1. I am eating as clean as I possibly can to lower my genetically high cholesterol and blood pressure... want to avoid meds for as long as I can. I'm already slender, so I don't actually need to lose weight.

2. I exercise in a joint-friendly way, with aquatic fitness, because I've seen the wear and tear on joints in my relatives and in-laws. So no running or too many lunges and squats.

3. I want to stretch more, because I've seen the benefits my father has received from his lifetime of daily stretches.

4. And I want to improve my meditation practice, because it does wonders for my husband and his brothers.

Peter Attia and just about any of his guests on the subject would tell you 2 is a mistake unless you have some specific predisposition you are trying to avoid. Particularly as a female. You need to load your skeletal system with weight bearing exercise. Avoiding it is a bad plan. [/quote]
