Seriously, we are headed for very hard times, your physical fitness will give you the best chance of survival. I'm not in nearly as good of shape as I was a couple years ago but I decided a few weeks ago I have to push myself as hard as I can so now I do my exercise until I'm sore, then rest and as soon as I feel recovered I'm right back out there again. I'm getting all kinds of minor injuries but that's a good thing because I want to get injured now and recover so that when shit really starts hitting the fan I'll be in as good of shape as possible.

I'm 59 and I'm ready. I've had both rotator cuffs repaired in the last 10 years, but I'm currently doing about 600 pushups per week (alternating days of course), 750 situps per week (again alternating days), run 2-3 miles per day on the treadmill and throw in some other cardio stuff / weight lifting when possible. The pushups have done incredible things for my upper body and core strength, even at my age. Another thing I throw in once in a while is heavy bag routines with Bas Rutten tapes. Learning how to punch and understanding combinations is very important. Even if just using a heavy bag you'd be surprised how much self-confidence you gain doing this.
And I'm not doing this crap because I want to live forever. I'm doing it to be always vigilant and ready for whatever may come my way.
