The goals change as we age. I don't know for sure, but I think I'm older than you are. The goal used to be “Get laid more often,” but these days it's that plus the following:
Maintain range of motion.
Pay attention to systems, not just body parts. For example, dental health is directly related to coronary health.
Be solidly healthful so that if or when I'm hospitalized, I have enough strength to lift myself from the bed or move myself to a wheelchair or have enough endurance to handle periods of stress.
Be able to fit into my clothes.
Strength, endurance, and flexibility are keys to feeling better, keeping depression away, and being able to move.
