OP

Request a workout plan suitable for your gym excersise needs.
Any instructor can arrange a plan which you can start of slowly even for weeks/months until you feel comfortable
I'm conquering since Feb which has been great, at my own pace and ability.

Maybe the OP isn't going to the gym anymore.
Still logging on, still posting but not adding to this thread.

I started when I was well into my seventies! Start by taking it easy - treadmill at level and set a speed you can keep up, also set yourself a time - say 5 minutes. As that gets easier either speed up or SLOWLY increase the elevation. Other exercises, start with minimum weights/resistance and do say 10 repetitions, rest a minute and repeat to three sets. Again, over the months SLOWLY increase the weights/resistance. There are plenty of internet routines but choose one for novices and try by doing half the recommendations until you find you can do a bit more. NEVER try anything which is very hard - the third set of any exercise is the killer.

Yeah, Strength Training really makes a good difference. As you have to maintain your protein intake.

Proper nutrition and regular exercise is a key to success. Stick to these rules and you will succeed! But classes with a coach will give greater results.
