With winter coming it will be challenging to keep on keeping on.
Yes, I do have a treadmill scheduled for next week, just to be safe.

Truly, getting in shape is a lifetime activity.
I started biking again when I was 58, am almost 65 now.
I am still working on getting in shape and staying there.
Don't forget the value of resistive exercises - extremely important for the prevention of osteoporosis and upper body muscle loss. I weight lift 3-4 times per week.
Rather than preventing osteo,
bicycling promotes osteo.
ALso, cross training. I walk 3 miles fast pretty regularly.
