If you have grandchildren then you can give your kids a break by taking your grandchildren for a day. Spend the day being active with your grandchildren. Take them to the zoo and spend the day walking around looking at the animals. Get up and play with them on park equipment. It really does not matter what you do with your grandchildren or how you play by yourself as long as you are being active and moving around.

Men over 50 pretty much still believe in the old fashioned roles of men and women. While this is fine and everything, sometimes you need to drop those views and get active with your wife. One thing you can do that will burn calories is help your wife in the kitchen. Take the time to chop up the food the old fashioned way with just a knife. If she needs something mixed up then mix it up for her by hand with just a spoon or whisk. How about jumping in and doing the dishes after dinner by hand? All of this is great for burning calories.
