Whole bunch of them.
The only thing I. Do now is slog. Slow jogging. In my mid 70s and I try to do 3 to 5 miles 3 or 4 days a week. Takes me about an hour. Yesterday I picked up the pace and moved up to a jog and did it in 45 minutes. Feel like I need some strength training now.
Best part is it really helps with warding off depression. Also I have neuropathy and i feel like it helps from it getting worse. No problem with blood sugar but both my brother and my father had it too.
