Enjoyed your article today. At 80 years of age, I hope to "slide" into the finish line verses "limping" across! My routine consists of walking 2 miles (on the treadmill) 3 times weekly, followed by lifting weights, and 3 yoga sessions weekly. That all comes to a little less than an hour daily, 6 days a week. That's worked for me for over two years and I plan to continue with it!
I've been doing 20 minute strength training sessions usually 3 times per week for the last 3 years. Amazing what you can get done! Sometimes I go to 25 or 30. And add a couple of days of swimming which usually ends up closer to 30. I'll be 80 in a few days and I can tell you it has made a huge difference in my life
You can do a lot in 20 minutes. It’s long enough to warm up a bit and then choose between a number of possible options: pure strength, mix of strength and movement, mostly movement. I especially like that time frame for mostly strength. It’s enough time to push yourself without overdoing things.
Also you can add other short bursts of exercise (2 to 5minutes) at various points in the day when you could use a short break between tasks.
Would like hear what your jump rope routine is like, thanks

Wouldn’t the simplest thing be to do Bullworker exercises?
