1977: How to keep fit whatever your age

January is the time that many people start exercising, and that's exactly what reporter Bernard Falk did when he met 81-year-old Nationwide viewer Hilda Cawood who had been doing her own keep fit routine for two years. Cawood wrote to the programme to express her dismay at Falk's reluctance to exercise, so he visited her house for what turned out be a very strict mini boot-camp.
