A lot of physical longevity has to do with movement and mobility (rather than exercise) and decent nutrition.
People in their early thirties can't even do a simple resting squat and maintain the position for 2 mins.
A simple resting squat, a basic position for the human body...
My grandmother is 90+, really lean and fit. She squats like nothing. In fact she avoids chair in her house like plagues. She sits down on the floor regularly.
The most common injuries of the Elderly in the western world is linked to falls and lack of mobility. It is nuts.
Mobility is extremely underrated. Gyms and bodyweight exercises are overrated.
With age, I have changed my philosophy for fitness:
1. I move a lot throughout the day
2. I priotize mobility and full range of motion
3. I do bodyweight exercises and avoid machines.
