best regards,

If you are 65+, you are NOT a boomer! Do you mean by the "plus" part - older than Boomers?
If so,
I try to get 3 solid hours of exercise in daily. I mix up swimming, weight lifting, bicycling, walking and stretching. Maybe 3,500 miles per year bicycling, bench press 200-225 lbs on a good day (plus a whole lot of other exercises), walk 3 miles, swim 500-1,000 yards.
I also try to eat pretty appropriately.
That's about it - seems to work.
I am looking at a sprint triathlon next summer, which will be my first.
