My father is 96. Walks 1.5 miles every day except if the weather is good and he ups it to 2.5 miles. Does three .5 mile walks or two 1.0 mile walks with a .5 mile walk at mid day. This after having a minor stroke at 92. He worked to get full recovery, his stroke was limited but he did the PT like he was splitting firewood.
His diet is a cardiologist night mare. If you can fry it he will eat it. When I visit him I cant eat what he does. But like most men who grew up in the Depression, hard work, long hours or physical activity is all he knew when growing up. He never lost the ability or willingness to just do it. Still cuts his lawn and his neighbors lawn. Needs the xtra spending money. I cut his allowance last year. He was spending too much on his girlfriend.
