[quote=Anonymous]I’m 56 years old, in decent shape, but not super fit. In general I feel like I could be healthier, and I am nervous about aging. I welcome advice.

I eat pretty well. I could probably lose 15 pounds safely, and I def carry weight in my belly (always did, then menopause made it worse). I have a messed up shoulder from a long ago rotator cuff injury, and a bad tendency to have my back seize up. A lot of core-heavy workouts *really* bother my back. Have bat wings, which I don’t love, but I try not to focus too much on what’s “wrong”.

My routine:
 
- I walk or walk/jog at least 3-4 miles/day every weekday (usually 2 miles in am, another 1-2 in evening). Sometimes longer, but most days I don’t have time for more.

- In the warm weather I often hike on weekends. 3-5 miles is normal, occasionally it’s more like 7-9.

- I go to a yoga studio 2-3x a week. Usually a gentle flow because I am afraid of aggravating my back.

If I could add one thing to my exercise  routine to make me healthier now and keep me healthier in as I continue to age, what would you recommend? More/harder yoga? Weight training? I could spend a little money — an unfancy gym, for example. Not regular personal trainer money.

Thanks for any advice. [/quote]
