Exercise For 50+

Time to get the proper regular exercise for both of us. 52th birthday is a few days away, and my hubby is 53+. I am concerned about my knee joints pain when I walk downstairs and general weakening of muscles, while my hubby puts on many weights after his hernia repair in Feb. 

Jogging hurts my feet.  What is best for us then?  We decided to join Fitness Core by engaging a Professional Trainer thinking that the trainer should be able to design a program for me and my hubby to strengthen our muscles to reduce joint pain and back pain. It costs us on average RM100 per session. Each session is less than an hour. We don't use the machine much. So far we have only used the elliptical step machine and run on the treadmill. Other than paying the "Professional Trainer", we need to pay for membership to use the facility in Fitness Core. RM250p/m or RM540quarterly. Adding up it is quite a sum of money! After much consideration, we decided to stop the membership because we don't need to use the facility. 

It was a coincidence that on the last time after doing our exercise in Fitness Core, we met a few friends in Lintas coffee shop. These few friends just had their thrice weekly exercise which use kettlebells and other exercises that are suitable for 50+....people who can't jump or run like the young days.
