Most of his adult life he was a fairly fit 6' 190-200lbs, until he hit about 52/53, had a couple knee and feet issues (broken bones long since healed...to the point that though he's +100lbs, he doesn't limp at all).
Looking for ideas/arguments/etc to use to help get him into a damn gym instead of the mall.
Thank you in advance for any insights.
Dave
