I’m only 43 so it’s not like I’m far ahead of you, but here’s what I know. You don’t have enough insurance, especially if you have a family; auto home or life. You’re not saving enough for retirement, better bump up those 401k contributions or consider an IRA. Don’t move heavy things anymore, herniated discs are more common and no joke. You aren’t seeing the doctors enough either; get your yearly and don’t skip the dentist, especially if you’re in the US. Dental care once you’re on Medicare is just not reasonable and I’m watching my retired father making some tough decisions on if he should keep his teeth or not.
If you haven’t started lifting heavy things before then now is the time to start. And I’m obviously talking about going to gym and I don’t mean go crazy with it either but when it comes to having a strong body it’s use it or lose it situation. Also yes, don’t deadlift a chest freezer without warmup. Let some 20 year old do that.
For anyone who hates the gym learn decent bodyweight exercises. I can’t stand weights and hate the indoor sweatbox. But I’m happy to do bodyweight exercises til the cows come home. Push ups, pull-ups, rows, squats, etc.
You can get Android apps or check online.
“Convict Conditioning” is one I’ve used before. It’s designed for people without equipment (convicts in a cell!).

Bad advice. Actually no, horrible advice.
