His weekly cardiovascular exercise routine is hiking once a week (3-4 miles), a half mile easy swim, and a 8-10 mile bike ride. His only strength training consists of a few push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups 3 times a week. His goal is to keep doing the things he likes, stay healthy and improve his overall fitness and conditioning so he is interested in doing strength training along with any other advice/ recommendations, guidelines on modes of exercise and diet you can provide.
