People use wooden dumbbells during a health promotion event to mark "Respect for the Aged Day" Monday at a temple in Tokyo's Sugamo district. As of Monday, the number of people aged over 65 in Japan was 32.96 million, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. That comes to 25.9% of the total population -- an all-time high -- and means one out of every four people is 65 or older, according to the government.

I gave up my seat on the Yamanote today for an old lady who otherwise wouldn't have gotten a seat.

A nice set of dumbbells alone won't make your body nicely toned. You'll also need some discipline to carry out both your weight and cardiovascular workouts regularly, as well as maintain a healthy and balanced diet.
