Same age as you. You have to have easy days (not not nothing) every once in a while for muscles to heal. Try Epson salt bath too. Try swimming too. Swimming stretches everything without weights. The stretching before and after exercise is important. Keep moving but stretch and vary activities both exertion and type. Glad you are moving to active community.
As an aside my orthopedic doctor said that everyone should get a card on their 50th birthday that says, “Congratulations you have reached your last decade before your body starts falling apart and hurting! Enjoy this ten years!” Then he told me worse thing is to not move! Use the muscles before you lose them. I’m sure everyone can tell you a story of someone that was sore and stopped moving and almost had surgery before discovering moving and keeping muscles strong made them healthy without surgery.
