At the grand old age of 42 I took up rugby. I was very unfit. So, I had to start jogging. I do Bikram yoga (about once a week). Since I hurt my foot (rugby, not running), I had to quit jogging and I've started doing spin. I will start running again soon, I want to run a 10K in mid July. I work with a personal trainer once a week. Of course, rugby training and playing. I've recently started doing a boxing class (boxing for exercise, not really boxing). I've also tried to just generally be more active and move around more. Occasionally I swim or do aqua classes. I walk some...but haven't been much this past month (my bad foot). The more I move the more I want to move. I can't do the same thing every day.
I do not do much formal resistance training right now. But rugby and yoga are both strength building. When rugby season ends I will begin formal strength training for next season. I imagine my trainer will have me doing more plyometric work than straight lifting - since I need strength in movement.
