It seems that Americans go about these things in reverse.  So many
do sports of various kinds to "get into shape."  Whereas the "right"
way is to get into shape so you can enjoy sports.  Otherwise you
just hurt yourself.

As for an exercise that anyone can do:  My favorite is Tai Chi.  There
are a lot of others too (swimming, walking, ...).  I could talk about
Tai Chi all day (but I won't).
