I am 65 years old. I go for approx. 3.5--4 km (in One Hour) Walking daily in morning. In evening, I go to Gym and do work out--- 11mts on Trade mill, 12 Mts. On Cross Walk and approx 10 mts Cycling. I attain a Heart Rate of approx 120 in each case while burning approx. 200 cals put together. All 3, I do in a span of approx. 1 hr. With rest in between and bring back Heart Rate to approx 75-80 before starting the next Work out.In between also do hand Push Ups on Gym M/cs. Please let me know --1. This much of Daily Routine ,is OK at my age of 65 (+)?2. Work out at Gym with Heart Rate going upto 120 is ok while walking on Trade Mill with Speed of 5 KMPH? 3. Again is it ok to go upto 120 Heart Rate while using Cross Walk Mill for burning Calories?

Hi sir I really appreciate your efforts in working out but I recommend minimal to moderate physical activity for your age group people. So please take a gap of 5 to 10 mins between each step/ stage of your work out, so that your work out time will be increased to 2 hrs r 1: 30 hr.You did not mention about any cardiac issues you are suffering from hope you don't have any. But I would recommend you to not strain yourself too much in such a way that your heart rate will suddenly go up till 120beats/ min. I would only recommend a good walk a hour in morning and eveening .That would be more than enough instead of heavy work out.
