I've been in your situation... I'm an older senior but am in better shape than people half my age, hit the gym 5 days a week, lift significant weights, row, and do strenuous lift routines, eat right, don't smoke or drink alcohol, and am fortunate enough to have great discipline and good genes.
My contemporaries ask how they can get in my shape and I just don't have the heart to tell them that it's probably too late for them, they should have started years ago...DECADES ago. For them to start now would take discipline they don't have, eat foods they won't like, and make it part of their lifestyle.
So unless your friend has tons of discipline, your good intentions might be wasted. Sorry to tell you this.
