Move for Life: 10 everyday habits that keep you fit after 60 without formal workouts

People who stay physically capable after 60 aren’t chasing workouts—they stay moving through everyday life: they do physical work with their hands, walk everywhere, get down on the floor and back up easily, treat sleep as non-negotiable, carry loads, keep a simple relationship with food, move while talking, maintain obligations that give them a reason to show up in shape, keep enjoying physical play, and always use the stairs. Over decades, these small, consistent acts add up to substantial mobility and strength, far more reliably than sporadic gym sessions.
