Who says getting fit is for the younger sets only? Yes, aging is inevitable, but it does not mean that you should feel resigned and just wait and watch for your health to deteriorate.
People in, and past, their midlife, have more need of getting fit to stay healthy and enjoy the later stages of their life. It is at these stages that they begin to feel and experience the impairment on their well-being wreaked by the ravages of time.
The dictum "health is wealth" is a truism that shouldn't be taken for granted, especially with the high cost of medical care which not everyone can comfortably afford.

I know that there are a lot of distractions that prevent us from doing so, but don't worry, there are fitness programs that are appropriate for keeping everyone active, even if she/he is 40, 50, 60, or even older.

You can go into these exercises for free, or for a very minimal fee, so money should not be a hindrance. If you are going to take up a particular exercise only now, it is best to consult with your doctor first to help you determine which activity is suited for your age.
