To boost metabolism over 50 (or over 40) you want strength training exercises to be your highest priority. These 5 unique types of movements and combinations of weight training exercises will focus on major muscle groups with what we refer to as compound exercises:
Squat
Lunge
Pull
Push
Hinge
Make sure you have good form before adding weight or increasing your weight. Progress from higher reps (15-20 repetitions) to lower 10-12 and eventually to fewer than 10 reps if metabolism and bone density are goals and you can safely do so. (over 6-8 weeks)
