That's impressive. I'm early 40s and have found doing this kind of exercise really beneficial recently.

I think push-ups are great for posture and all round conditioning. I could barely do 10 in a row a few years back, but now do 60-100 over 3 sets a few times a week.

I also do kettle bell swings and maybe some sit ups and this seems to complement the other exercises I do really well.

Like you I like to do lots of walking quite quickly and get out cycling or kayaking at least once a week.

You the man! Remember you are only in competition with yourself.

Btw: protip, I don't count to 70 or 60 and usually not even 40. I'll typically count to 30; than either just additionally count to 10, or more often just to 5, and than add the sums as I go--but then reset to the lesser count as I continue that set of push-ups. A great psychological trick, at least for me ;) .

GL!
