What you do is not that important. It is important to do something at least once a week. Any endurance sport is fine. Cycling, swimming, running, rowing or canoeing are good options. But depending on where you live, you need a plan for wintertimes / rainy seasons.
Some things to consider:
* doing things in a group / with a partner helps to train consistently
* your body gets older. Look for something that you can do for the rest of your life.
* find something that you like and stick to it
* do something that does not stress your joints too much
For me, cycling (on my own) and rowing (in a club) work very well. Gyms - not so much.
We have active rowers that are older than 80 years. Not sure if there are many cyclists in that age.
