The Longevity Plan for Your 70s and Beyond

Past 70 the goal sharpens to one word: independence. Every item on this plan serves it: the muscle that climbs stairs, the balance that prevents the fall, the medicines reviewed so they help more than they harm, and the people who notice.

1Muscle is independence

Sit-to-stands are the most honest exercise in the world: they are how you get off a chair, off a toilet, out of a car. Gentle Start counts you through them.

Ten minutes, guided

2Prevent the fall on purpose

Balance work, footwear, lighting, and eyes checked. The falls-prevention workout takes ten minutes within reach of a counter.

Steady & Balanced

3A yearly medicines review

Medicines accumulate; bodies change. One printed list and a yearly review with a doctor or pharmacist regularly removes something that was causing the dizziness.

Print the list

4Company is medicine

Isolation carries mortality risk in the same class as smoking. Standing plans with people who would notice your absence are a health intervention.

Common questions

What is the best exercise for over 70?

The evidence points to three things done modestly: strength twice a week, with sit-to-stands the single most useful move; balance practice most days; and daily walking at a comfortable pace. All three appear in our free guided plans with chair and counter versions of every exercise.

Should screening continue after 75?

It becomes a conversation rather than a schedule: guidelines individualize colon and breast screening past the mid-70s based on health and preference. What clearly continues: blood pressure checks, vaccines including yearly flu, eye and hearing tests, bone protection, and the yearly medicines review. Decide each with a doctor who knows you.
