Diet and resistance training... Some of the 60's bodybuilders like Frank Zane and Dave Draper are still in fantastic shape in their mid 60's. Dave Drapers website is one of the good ones and he addresses a lot of the training issues he encountered as his age progressed. Frank Zane also has a very good DvD about it.

I'd invest in the services of a good personal trainer.
My instructor at Karate is not only a 6th degree, but also excellent and trained in- Personal Training, Diet, Shiatsu massage etc, etc, etc...
Get someone like that. Get someone who can sit down with you and work out a wholistic routine and regimen.
Focussing on your core strength, or your limbs or your endurance, or aerobic abilities will not work alone. You must look at all these areas and all the others to improve your health.
But take it easy.
With the greatest of respect your 50+ body isn't as agile or strong as my 23.9yr old frame- so pushing yourself to the limit may involve getting to said limit far sooner than you thought.
Walk alot, play golf, dare I say it- make love to your wife! Its a fantastic low impact work out, esp if things get very hot and heavy!!

my dad (56) uses our bow-flex, works really good, and he has diabetes too, so it manages really well into his diet.
my mom (53) goes to a work out center and has a trainer, she just started a month ago and already lost almost 15 lbs.
