Bodyweight squats - concerned about falling? stand in front of your kitchen sink, reach out, palms down and grasp the sink... you're just holding on for balance, you're legs are doing the work....
Get more protein! Your goal should be about 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight.

REMEMBER - you're always in training for your next birthday...
You're welcome, and thank you! Strength training is so important for overall health and well-being, and it doesn't have to take a lot of time. 20-30 minutes twice a week provides great benefits. And if you don't have time for that, you can incorporate some non-equipment strength moves like squats or wall push-ups into your day when you can.
I'm not sure which is best, but I've lost weight, helped the granddaughter's with college, and just finished my 3rd Hot Yoga class in 10 days. I'll be 69 in two weeks. My money is on granddaughters.
Good bet Jim. Way to go on the weight loss and yoga! Sounds like you're on track to be able to hang with your great grandchildren when they come along.
Great post.

Great post. I'll be referring to this one again and again. I'm turning 63 tomorrow! An early Happy birthday to you.
Thank you, Jennifer. Happy Birthday!
Great article, Daria! A nice reminder to incorporate more strength training into my weekly routine. Thank you:).
