I walk every day too i think adding a walk to your day will only bring further benefit.

Cheapest, best for mental health and aerobic is walking. I am also 77 and walk every day.

I'm nearly 77 and I mentioned in an earlier post that I've re-learned Yang 24 tai chi at home and try to do about 30 minutes daily. I'm wondering, though, if this is enough exercise and should I add a more aerobic exercise or yoga to the mix, even though I'm active around the house. I've got a Wi Fit Sport and also a yoga DVD for seniors, so it would be no trouble to do more at home. What do you think? Is tai chi and day to day activity enough? I'm concerned about improving my balance and flexibility particularly.
