Along these lines, I recommend "Younger Next Year" by retired lawyer Chris Crowley and Dr. Henry Lodge. Crowley has also teamed up with other medical professionals with a series of related books, importantly including the "Younger Next Year Back Book." Along with some initial PT, the latter has helped me recover completely from a disabling back ailment that had me reduced to a walker for a month last spring and now enables me to contemplate participating in lengthy cross-country ski "races" again this winter at a fairly advanced age (74 later this month), having never lettered in anything in high school or beyond. I put "races" in quotes, as I'm just looking for "participation points."
I have a lot in common with your son and you, as, for years, I've been spending at least 15 hours a week picking up litter with a large bag and grabber while jogging, walking or riding a bike. There may be more people who think I'm a crank than thank me, which few do, but it seems to be a useful community service and is very much an exercise motivator.
