How old, (approximately) are you?
ill be 40 in a couple months. i know plenty that take care of themselves and lift/train that are the ages i said and are in amazing health.
i say amazing because its so uncommon. you mentioned yourself, you dont lift nor do any real form of resistance training which is not surprising as less than 10% of the population in the US does and even less across the world. maybe half of that does real training, most that do that go in and hit a couple sets on some machines with really light weight not coming close to failure and not practicing any form of overload.
resistance training(outside of sleep) is the number 1 anti-aging tool we have. trust me when i say i know the science behind this and am pretty well educated in this area. do yourself a favor and go read the barbell presciption by andy baker. you will not regret it if you take his advice.
especially considering the fact that you are only in your 50s which isnt old at all.

I turned 41 Monday and I’m 6’1 210 to 215. I can probably do 10 to 12 but normally do 4 sets of 6 to 8.

Thanks for the honest reply.
Just as a point of reference, I'll say was likely in the best shape of my life @ close to 40 (the age you are right now). Then the body's natural physiological changes kicked in over the next 10+ years. So come back here in 10 years and talk to us. 50 may not be "old", but nature is a cruel master. When your HGH and testosterone start bottoming out, anything and everything you do (physically) becomes more difficult. Seems like you have to work twice as hard for 1/2 the results.
So as Morpheus said in the Matrix, "There's a difference in knowing the path and walking the path." Hopefully you can stave off some of the effects of time. I hope you do, but everyone's physiology is different. I'm just here to tell you it's not going to be as easy as you think it is.
Good luck.
