Active and Healthy Website
Staying physically active is the single most important thing you can do to stay fit and independent, as you get older. Physical activity is good for the body and mind.
Age is no barrier - research shows that any exercise, at any age, is worth the effort. If you are in any doubt about exercise, please talk to your doctor.
