Your body changes as you get older. You get shorter of breath, it becomes easier to gain weight and, according to Edward Laskowski of the Mayo Clinic, you lose muscle mass, resulting in an increase in body fat percentage even if you don't gain weight. Although this process is not completely reversible, a well-planned exercise program can mitigate some of its effects.
Bodybuilding
Bodybuilding can not only arrest age-related decline in muscle mass, it can actually reverse it. Bodybuilding also reverses the increase in bone density that occurs as you age. The older you are, however, the more dangerous it is to pursue an intense bodybuilding program, because bodybuilding puts stress on joints that weaken with age. Nevertheless, you can engage in low-intensity bodybuilding -- one set each of eight different exercises two or three times a week, for example. Avoid free weights if you have concerns about your joints and stick to exercise machines. Effective exercises include the bench press, military press, biceps curl, back extension and leg extension. Men tend to gain weight around the belly first. Although you cannot target a specific area of your body for weight loss, strengthening your stomach muscles using weighted sit-ups can improve your appearance by pulling your belly fat closer to your body.
