How often should a 71 year old man train in a week

Training
1

And should I do heavy or light weight?

I am not 74. I am 60 and 362/365 days a year old. I train 3 days a week, full body approach. Heavy or light weights? I use resistance that I can do 3 sets of 12. When I reach three sets of 12 I add resistance. That is what I do.

Now, there are people here who are sharper than me. They will be along. You will receive excellent instruction on your training and diet. Listen to them.

Good Luck!

Listen to your body then you should feel if you need rest or go for the gym.

At least twice a week…full body 6 to 10 exercises per workout and at least one set per exercise

walk at least 30 minutes everyday if you can
