I've picked up tennis, 99% doubles and much of it mixed. Good exercise, very mentally stimulating and social. Morning matches are pretty low level, fun without extreme competition.
If your joints, especially knees, are in decent shape I'd recommend it. Find a club, pay the dues and jump in. They will probably have clinics and group play.. One study I saw said tennis players live 7 years longer than other exercisers.
I walk a total of 6 miles per day, with two short sessions with our dogs and, in the morning, one 4 mile walk with my partner in a huge, climate-controlled mall nearby. There is a community of many fellow seniors that join us there every day.

I've always wondered about mall walking. Did you measure your walk yourself or does the mall have a route laid out for people with measured walk stations from beginning to end?

Someone measured it with a wheel-type device. We also confirmed that one lap is over one mile by the time it takes.
The friendships that have developed with the other mall walkers over the years is really cool!
I do about an hour of mobility and flexibility movements every morning after waking up and go to the gym to workout with the free weights two or three times a week and use the treadmill.
