Here are 10 top tips to keep you moving and thriving after 50:
🚶♀️ Move more, sit less – Even light activity like walking or gardening adds up. Every bit counts!
🏋️♂️ Build strength – Include resistance exercises (like lifting groceries or using resistance bands) at least 2x a week.
🧘♂️ Improve balance – Try yoga, tai chi, or standing on one leg while brushing your teeth.
🕺 Do what you enjoy – Dancing, swimming, walking the dog – anything that keeps you moving.
📆 Make it routine – Schedule activity into your day, just like brushing your teeth.
👟 Wear good shoes – Supportive footwear helps prevent slips, trips, and injuries.
🫀 Know your limits – Start small and build up gradually, especially if it’s been a while.
🤝 Stay social – Join a walking group, fitness class, or invite a friend to move with you.
🧠 Keep your brain active too – Moving your body also boosts brain health and mood!
✅ Get checked – Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise plan, especially if you have health conditions.
✨ Your body is made to move – keep it working for you!
📣 Share with a friend and be active together💪
