LIke your approach Ken. No getting around need to keep moving and to use free weights (even 12 lb dumbells are a good foundation). I also so is the firemans carry with heavy dumbbells that strengthens the core with little risk of injury. During the peak of the pandemic I cancelled my gym membership and invested in weights so I could work out at home.
Bicycling is also great for maintaining upper body strength, especially on hilly terrain, and provides a good cardio workout. Where I live it is no longer safe for bicyclists (with most motorists focusing on their cell phones instead of the road ahead) and so I need to load the bikes in my truck and drive 15 miles to where it is safe to bicycle.
At 74 my recovery time is much greater and I need to adjust my workouts and off days accordingly. Advice for "seniors" targets people who are 55 or older and a vast difference between 55 and 75.
I have learned to use two bags when traveling to balance the load on my body and whenever possible to use a car as a holding location for my gear and only grab what I need for a location. I can leave my wide angle and my macro kit and speedlights behind. With the PF lenses I can also often leave the tripod and gimbal head behind as well.
