We're trying our best to get really healthy. 80% plant based food, almost daily exercise and some weights and stretching. Really have to be serious about health whatever your age. i'm still maybe 15lbs away from normal BMI. But I feel good. I slowly climb 14 floors to my office without a break. The problem is we all enjoy wine and good food.
My wife will struggle a bit up the stairs with a 25-30lb brompton though she is more fit than I am. Perhaps lower gearing and lighter is a better approach. I am intrigued by having an ebike though. My other son (based in Los Angeles) was telling me an ebike rental in San Francisco was really fun.
