You've told us...: ...Very little about your underlying health. If you are as healthy a 64 year old male as you sound, without contraindications to physical exertion, then pick an exercise routine that excites you ; enjoy. Be aware, there are my different bodyblade devices to choose from. If you warrant, or still have, concerns consult your doctor who can help you set realistic goals within medically-defined limits.

Likely: Exercizes that cause regurgitation- reflux are not helpful. Standing on your head, abdominal pressure, severe straining as examples.

Sure: As long as you are healthy (especially your heart) go for it. You may want to run this by your doctor.
