Alex is right - you should be doing something to keep fit and keep those old bones moving.
You'd enjoy CrossFit - functional movements, you've got the strength, you'd love the clean & jerk and squats etc. Not sure you'd love the burpees so much but they get you fit
Yes you are right, I need to go and see myself about working out a program ..problem is I just don't listen

The Rock huh? ..yeah maybe, except I'm much wealthier and more handsome

I will give you the drum. This works on so many levels and easy to maintain motivation.
Hang a rope from a ceiling with a knot at eye level and punch it.
Stand in one spot and see if you can punch the knot to the ceiling.
It takes time but result in improved striking power and hand to eye coordination becomes unreal.
I add breathing flexing around this simple exercise.
My score is 54 strikes in a row..it becomes a competition with your self.
You will not believe how your striking power increased and accuracy.
