I cannot afford a personal trainer, so I bought a book called You Are Your Own Gym by Mark Lauren. He has wisely numbered each exercise in the book 1 to 4, one being the easiest. So I went through the book and wrote down for me each number one exercise. Now I am doing those every other day and walking on our country lot the alternate days. I am very happy I discovered this book when I was 70.

I have a selection of exercise DVD’s collected over the years sitting in a cupboard. Varying degrees of difficulty and energy required depending on when I bought them. Now I am older the Rosemary Conley ones seem to fit the bill so I shall be dusting them off and having a go.

I agree that some exercise is good for you. I am 75 years old and regularly go Scottish Country Dancing. I would recommend it. You can go alone and don't need a partner to go with. You will meet people and in most areas there are beginners classes, so you don't need to have done any before, you just need a pair of flat shoes or trainers to begin. Classes can be found on the RSCDS website. After I turned sixty I found the speed of modern tennis and a knee injury made it difficult for me to play, so I took up croquet. I am still playing it at a local club and play competitively. You hit the ball with a mallet, so no bending down and you have both feet on the ground all the time. In a club near me there is a gentleman who took up playing croquet at 86 and is now still playing at 95.
