Are you over the age of 50? Do you feel as though everyday tasks are becoming harder than they used to be? Exercise can help! Everyone knows that exercise is good for you and it’s also one of the best defences against the toughest aspects of ageing.

While you can’t control your age, you can slow the impact of ageing with a few smart choices along the way. From the foods you eat and how you exercise, to your friendships and retirement goals, each influence how fast or slow your body ages.

Some of the benefits of exercising for individuals over the age of 50 include:

• Increased muscle strength and power
• Increased reaction time
• Increased balance
• Decreased risk and rate of falls
• Increased bone mineral density
• Reduced risk of developing diseases and conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and respiratory diseases
• Increased management of chronic conditions and diseases
• Improved ability to perform activities of daily living
