i hove found that 150 a day and then legwork the next day works better.
so 150 x 182=27,300 in a year.

i am old 68
i am diabetic
i am 6 foot 200 pounds

if i can do about 13600 pushups in the first 500 days many could match me.
what is the upside? it makes you healthier and if you are making corn 🌽 dont you want to be able to enjoy it in good health?

Diverse exercises have proven to be more effective for aged people. Not restricted to pushups (moreover you've gone past the fighting age, haha) at this age, large biceps and triceps may not freak anymore neither would 6 packs matter much to you. So having to engage in different workouts on different days could actually help to strengthen the entire body parts and prepare you for old age.

Morning jugs would definitely have a big influence on Blood pressure regulation and also reduces blood sugar levels to minimal levels. As a diabetic patient, stairs climbing would also be of high importance. Again ensuring that you sweat before quitting any exercise would also be or great effect to reducing the diabetic activities in your system.

Some of us are likely going partially on faith in terms of the information claiming that resistance training is helpful for people, and perhaps especially elderly people.. maybe anyone over 40 needs to figure out ways to preserve and build muscle mass...and maybe the risk of muscle mass loss (or difficulties to build) gets worse and worse (or more and more challenging) as the age of the body advances.

When you say training is helpful many people see it as a waste of time and tiredness has already whispered to them that is not ok to train, that they should let it be but they forget that it helps the heart to do it's work properly. Some old people, hold on let me say some elderly people like you said it would want to do some exercises but they wait for who would help them start and some of us here are up to 50-60+ years and they keep doing the exercises without stopping while some others who are 50-60+ years can't imagine themselves doing anything to make them sweat which is bad but when ever doctors says something will happen to them if the don't do any training or exercises you'd see them rushing to something just to stay alive. Some of we humans want something bad to happen before we make a move.

my wife and I look at this video for inspiration

If we can match what she has done it would be wonderful.

so far today I have done 102 stairs I will shoot for at least 306 stairs today made 20 minute on the bike and some resistance bands.

Her strength and look is definitely out of this world and that is what constant exercise can do to the body with a good diet. Sometimes what we take as our responsibilities are far too degrading than what really matters in life. Exercises have an anti aging benefit and could reduce your look by over 15years. Celebrating 100th birthday on a 5 minutes plank stand is not common.
