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.

Circuits are great. I love them. However, "reps" no not just equal body building. And veggies
are carbs
