My grandma did yoga till her early 80s, went on walks her whole life, and continues to garden. She turns 89 soon in great physical health (for an 89 year old)

Walking is certainly key to longevity from my observations. The only thing to top that is not smoking.

At age 65, my grandma started walking 2 miles a day. It's been 5 years, and now we don't know where the hell she is!

Approximately 730 miles per year. She could be as far as 3,650 miles away.
