deli stuff. I know better, but I like beef/bean burritos and "Jo-jos." 

I hope you wear a sign if you jog and eat burritos.  I certainly wouldn't
want to be down wind of you :-).

Moderation is probably the key word for the AARP crowd.  Cardiovascular
activty like walking or jogging is needed by everyone, regardless of age.
If you're on the road a lot, you may have trouble getting to a gym on a
regular basis.  When walking, you might try ankle weights (any general
sporting store) to add leg strength and stamina for Nordic skiing.  I think
wrist weights and a slower pumping motion while walking would help stengthen
the shoulders and upper back muscles for paddling.

Consistancy would be another key word.  Ya gotta keep at it and make it part
of your life style.
