At a certain point, relatively little exercise (a single lifting session per week, regular walking) is remarkably effective at retaining overall strength and muscle mass. Senior lifter and bodybuilder Clarance Bass, now in his late 80s (born 1937) has followed this regime for the past few decades.
I think he covers this somewhere on his website, though I wasn't able to track that down looking for it just now. You or others are welcome to read it:

I'll note that Bass doesn't claim that this is the only training modality, and peak-career bodybuilders will train differently. But for the general public, particularly in later years, it can be quite effective.
If there's one scourge of fitness discussions, it's a One True Way or Best Exercise fixation. People, goals, potentials, and available resources vary considerably.
