Planning Your Active Summer

We all have our favorite summer activities. It’s time to dust off that list of favorites and make some plans. No matter what’s on your list, be sure to add strength, stamina and agility to your goals. Being fit will help you do it, while improving your quality of life and extending your independence.

Let’s look at common reasons people over 50 get fit or stay fit. What does each one inspire you to do this season? We are here to help you make those desires a reality.

7 Reasons Why and 7 Fun Summer Fitness Goals

1. Grandkids. Nobody wants to be the “boring nana,” right? Millions of today’s grandparents play active roles in their grandkids’ lives. Summer Fun Item: Anything from playing tag in the living room to coaching sports or heading out of town.
2. Feel, Look and Move Better. Most of us want the benefits of exercise more than we want long hours in the gym. Exercise improves your mood, your appearance, and your mobility. Summer Fun Item: I want to look my best for our daughter’s wedding.
3. Hobbies. Gardening and hiking are just two of the physically demanding hobbies that people enjoy and want to continue, regardless of age. Summer Fun Item: Explore my town’s bike trails and parks.
4. Sports. Some people go to the gym because they like to work out. But for many, it helps them keep doing something else they love. Summer Fun Item: Play a sport I used to enjoy, at least once.
5. Travel. Is it time to resume checking off that list of places you always wanted to visit? Summer Fun Item: Meet old friends for walking tours of great cities or national parks.
6. Mental Health. You might know that exercise is good for your body. But did you realize it’s also great for your mind, helping to build memory and ward off dementia? Summer Fun Item: I want to pray or meditate on a beach or countryside porch.
7. Physical Health. Did you hear about the real “wonder drug” to help keep your body healthy? It’s called exercise! Fitness even helps us recover from common surgeries and illnesses. Summer Fun Item: I want to see shock (the good kind) on my doctor’s face at my fall visit.

It really doesn’t matter what you want to do this season. It’s your life! You should enjoy doing whatever you like.

It’s our job to help you get or stay fit over 50 so you can live life on your own terms for as long as you want.

Remember to drink plenty of water and avoid the heat!
