I recommended that you stick to the frequency of exercise that you’ve been doing. For example, if you exercise four hours a week, try to maintain that duration, but change the exercise type and intensity. Be more conservative in choosing physical activities so you don’t develop or aggravate orthopedic conditions like lower back or knee pain.
Combine your regular exercise program with non-weight-bearing and low-impact activities like swimming, cycling, yoga, and Pilates. If you run, don’t do it everyday to preserve your knees. Do resistance training regularly; this makes you more functional in daily activities and slows down muscle loss and declines; this is normal as you get older.
Be more cautious of your intake of high-fat, high-sugar and salty food which causes diabetes, hypertension, and other cardiovascular diseases. Consume more fiber by eating fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and whole grain food. Drink more water, too. If you’re not as active as before, you should eat less. If you’re trying to lose weight, don’t skip meals, or follow fad diets or starve yourself.
