You can get stronger when you are older:
Research shows that improvements in strength and physical function are possible in your 60s, 70s, even 80s and older with an appropriate exercise program. Progressive resistance training, in which muscles are exercised against resistance that gets more difficult as strength improves, has been shown to prevent frailty.

These are some of the basic hygiene rules you should know. Try as much as possible, incorporating these habits in your routine

Washing hands
Encourage proper hand washing before and after meals, after using the toilet, and upon their return from outdoors. Fill the bowl with warm water and coach your child to rub his/her hands thoroughly with soap and thereafter rinse and dry. Consider making it fun with towels and soaps having cartoon or animated characters on them. Washing your hands frequently is an ideal way to prevent germs from spreading.

Oral hygiene
Brush your teeth twice a day to prevent tooth decay and gum diseases. It is advised brushing teeth is only half the cleaning. Flossing is the other half. One of the secrets why many Americans have healthy teeth even at 80 is the daily flossing

Short nails
Keep your nails short and clean. Longer nails trap dirt and considerably increase the chances of spreading germs. If, like most parents, you often find it difficult to clip your child's nails, do it when he/she is distracted watching television, or when asleep.

Sneezing
Sneeze or cough into a tissue or handkerchief. A tissue is the best because it can be disposed of immediately. If a handkerchief is used, it should be changed two or three times a day. This will not only help in keeping personal hygiene, but will also help to prevent the transmission of germs from one to another. Discourage nose picking.

Clothing
Wearing clean and comfortable clothes is very essential to maintain personal hygiene. Make sure you changes into fresh clothes at least twice a day- morning, and during bedtime.

Ear Picking
Just like cleaning any other part of the body, cleaning earwax is also very important. If ignored, it can impair your hearing. Clean regularly using a fresh cotton bud and discourage ear picking with fingers. If earwax is left to build, it can lead to serious medical issues.

Keep bathroom surfaces as dry as possible and keep the bathroom well ventilated to help prevent the growth of mould and mildew.
Clean and disinfect the toilet bowl as often as necessary to prevent the build-up of dirt and lime scale that can harbour germs and cause nasty odours. Use a toilet disinfectant product. If you use a toilet brush, make sure it is stored clean and dry after use. Close the toilet lid before flushing to help stop germs spreading.
Clean and disinfect hand contact surfaces such as the toilet flush handle, toilet seat, taps and door handles frequently
Clean up spills of body fluids (e.g. faeces, vomit) immediately, and disinfect these surfaces.
Rinse baths, sinks and showers with clean water after use, and clean them regularly using a product that will remove soap scum and scale, then rinse the surfaces thoroughly and leave them to dry. ou only need to use a disinfectant on these surfaces if they are used by someone who has an infectious disease or if they are contaminated with body fluids (e.g. faeces, vomit).
Germs can grow in shower heads. If you haven't used your shower for a while, let it run on full power on a hot setting for a minute or two to flush any germs away before using.
Store personal items (like toothbrushes and razors) where germs are unlikely to splash onto them. Rinse them with clean water after each use and store them dry. Never share personal items.
Wash your hands thoroughly after using the toilet and after cleaning the bathroom.
It is best to replace bathroom carpets with hard surface flooring, such as tiles, linoleum, or laminate. These are more hygienic because they are easier to clean and do not collect debris in the same way that carpets can. Use an all purpose disinfectant cleaner to help clean and disinfect hard flooring. If your floors are wood, use a product that is safe on wood surfaces.
