Explanation:

1: For aged:

How often should I exercise? Seniors age 65 and older should get at least 2.5 hours of moderate aerobic exercise (such as brisk walking) every week. That averages out to about 30 minutes on most days of the week. Or you should get 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous exercise (such as jogging) each week.

In general, walking speed significantly decreases as your age increases. According to research from 2011, walking speed decreases slightly each year as you age.Trusted Source This averages out to a difference of 1.2 minutes slower for every kilometer (.62 mile) at age 60 than at age 20.
