2 hour day commute for me so I feel your pain. However, flex work has helped take the pain out of it.
I'll be 60 in August and have stayed in great shape doing mostly circuit training and avoiding reps. i always felt reps are more a body building thing than a fitness instrument. I'll generally just keep moving around a series of machines with out resting, so I'm getting weight and cardio work in at the same time. That'll typically be just a 30 minute workout, but you'll feel you did something.
I try and do something every day
Monday: Machine circuits
Tuesday: Rowing machine
Wednesday: Free weight circuits
Thursday: Elyptical
Friday: Floor exercises
Saturday: Outdoor bike ride
Sunday: Yoga and stretching
Every six weeks I'll take a week off to heal up any strains or injuries I might be developing.
Also, watch the diet. I follow the 3210 diet. 3 parts veggies, 2 parts protein, 1 part carbs, 0 sugar.
