Roger, your commitment to fitness and well-being is commendable. To help you on your journey, consult with a healthcare professional, especially given your age, to ensure a safe approach. Focus on a balanced diet, including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, and limit processed foods, sugary snacks, and high-calorie beverages. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Engage in regular exercise, such as walking in nature, gardening, and woodworking exoticwoodzone.com/en-ca/co..., to lose weight and improve overall health. Incorporate strength-training exercises to maintain muscle mass and improve fitness. Focus on flexibility and balance, such as yoga or tai chi, to prevent injuries. Track your progress by keeping a journal, sticking to a schedule, and seeking support from friends or family. Set realistic, achievable goals, and celebrate your progress along the way. Prioritize your health and well-being over the number on the scale. A holistic approach that combines physical activity with a balanced diet will help you feel fitter and healthier.
