You'd be better off doing a half hour 4-5 times/week. You need rest days 
but 5 is too many. 3 workout days/week is minimal, 4 or 5 is better, 6 is max.

It took me until about 55/56 to start 'feeling' my age. I'm aware that to a 
certain extent the Dr. is right but it annoys me that he doesn't even want 
to hear about pain on the assumption that it is age. Given the extent I'm 
working out I might be doing something wrong that is causing it. If so I 
need advice on how to mitigate it, not just swallow more pills. I should 
probably be looking for a sports Dr.
