I'm a male who will be 60 in a few months. What do most people my age do for fitness routine. I enjoy pilates, zumba, and workouts - but it seems that most people in fitness classes are 20 something Ashleys and Britney-) I was able to do triathlons earlier in the decade but find I don't have the stamina these days. I want to stay as healthy as possible in my 60s. Any suggestions - IMHO it seems that many 60 year old men start have healthy problems.

Do what you enjoy and don't worry about your age.

Turning 60 doesn't mean much other than a date on a calendar. You won't be magically transported into the forth dimension just because you hit your 60s. Do what you enjoy and makes sense for you.

Walk and use resistance bands. I bike also when I can. No more weights.

Donno, I am still weight lifting at 63.5 By far, not the weakest in the weights room.
I also do energy chakras recharge and joints warm up every am. Actually works very well, I anot sleepy through the day anymore.
Plus, we live on 6 acres, that gives ton of physical labor as is.
