Ok,
Here I go. I need some advice on taking better care of myself. Just turned 57 in September and mentally feel much younger.
I am 5'll and 175 pounds. I bike a minimum of 2 miles, 5 days a week. I can tell that my body is trying to let me know that I'm not a youngster any more.
Any suggestions on how to gain muscle and maintain a realistic balance of cardio and strength program would be greatly appreciated.
I don't mind the work, I want to be as healthy as possible within reason.

I'd put less emphasis on heavy exercise and more on the right diet. For exercise, just do what you enjoy. For muscle, maybe look into a routine that only uses your body weight.

I think the older you get, the more important it is to lift relatively heavy. It helps keep muscle and bone density. Do a light wrap of the knees or get supportive knee sleeves. Elbow sleeves also.
