One of the movements that you should be doing is Squat.
Depending on where you are and what you do variations of this exercise are your friend.
Strength in your thighs has been linked to longevity. When we get older doing exercises that improve our balance are very helpful. And being strong enough to get up, and travel to go do stuff, get stuff, etc. Is how older people survive and thrive.
Squats also force us to address our mobility, which if we aren't using it, we are losing it. And if squats are hard for you because of injury or anything there are a lot of resources out there. Adapt the exercise so that you can do it and you will improve over time.
The last major plus to adding squats to your routine is it helps our bone density. This, I assume, is linked more with weighted squats. However, this exercise is beautiful because our body is the weight.
I will provide some more resource on this later, ask if you have any questions. But don't forget to squat. Add some weight if you can. Bonus points if you include your family or friends.
