Absolutey, it just takes us longer is all, because we have to proceed at an arthritic pace. LOL

I'd suggest, using very VERY lightweights and do more reps. use 2 lbs, 50 times instead of 20 lbs 5 times. This will be easier on the joints, and help with flexibility too, since you'll be moving thru the range of motion more times.

I also use 1, 3, & 5 lb rubber bands, their color coded and offer some great resistance. DON'T OVER DO IT!!!!! ;-)

When I was doing my P90X3 workout, Tony Horton mentioned he was 58. So yes it is definitely possible to use exercise to build your muscle and improve cardio. Tony is coming out with a new P90 at the end of September that a very toned down versions of his other videos. A guy in the video is 60! Walking with weights is a good start and the bands that RugerFan mentioned is also a great thing to have. If you like swimming it is very low impact on your body.

I found this article that might help:

Yes. A 60-year-old just has to be more gentle and gingerly on themselves, start slowly, take baby-steps, and don't expect miracles overnight, especially if the 60-year-old is just now starting exercise after decades of neglect.

I agree with Koolman and Ruger. Start easy and slow to avoid injuries. Keep in mind the recovery period and pace yourself.

Myself I'm 52 and doing 30 minutes of cardio per day on a elliptical and slinging around 60lb kettlebells and free weights for bodybuilding. I started about two years ago after a 10 year break. LOL
