You enlisted a whole bunch of various good types of exercise. And I like the picture too. I would add another cool exercise to your list: riding the Glidecycle. I've seen a lady who had a hard time getting up out of chairs and walk around. After a few months on the GlideCycle she is running 3-4 miles at a time! Great post!

Personally I would recommend yoga onto anyone looking to improve their posture, core strength, flexibility and helping with back pain. My grandmother is into her 80s and plays golf at least 3 times a week and is in great shape and still very sharp. Staying active is the key for all of us.
