Want to stay independent, happy and healthy as you age?

As you age, you lose muscle mass, your joints become stiffer and your ligaments shorten, leading to loss of physical strength and flexibility. This weakness and stiffness makes common home chores such as reaching, lifting or gardening more difficult and it can also lead to injuries, incapacity and a loss of independence.

Regular structured activity is one of the most important things you can do for all aspects of your health as you age, helping your muscles become stronger to support you in maintaining your everyday activities and independence.

Not only can physical activity help you feel stronger and support your independence, it also supports bone density, helps improve your balance and coordination, lifts your mood, boosts your memory, and helps manage the symptoms of many chronic conditions.

Supporting an active, healthy and independent lifestyle as you age

Just by incorporating a small amount of structured activity into your daily life, along with regular prolonged, sustained movements such as walking or swimming, you can support a healthy, active lifestyle as you age.

Committing a small amount of time everyday to some form of structured exercise is effectively an investment in your personal ‘superannuation fund’ of health and wellbeing, designed to support how you move and feel.

Even if you haven’t exercised before, it’s never too late to start exercising and support your overall health, including weight management, mobility, independence, and helping to manage the risk of falls.
