Hi Goldengirl, on any forum you’ll get everybody’s own opinion so here’s mine as a 73 year old runner. The only reason I’m on a keto diet is to get my LDL down from 118 to 80, per my cardiologist. I’ve read 2 different medical articles on LDL levels and Cleveland clinic says for 70 yr old it ideally should be at 70. Now with that being said you are asking about working out. I’ve been a serious runner for almost 13 years and what keeps me motivated to keep working out which is I run 5 to 6 days a week anywhere from 3 miles to 6 miles. It’s how bad do you want it? That’s why when I am tired that does not stop me from going out and doing my running. I go to the gym twice a week for weights and I’m going to add in bicycling this year. So bottom line is mentally you need to just know you have to do it. I used to do ultra marathons so this isn’t anything new to me about pushing through so again, how bad do you want it? Yesterday when I feel tired and I’ve even fell asleep on the couch. But this is too important for me to mess up.
