Staying fit, healthy and feeling your best is important at any age. Throughout life, we encounter a number of major changes including career changes and retirement, the moving of family members and loss of loved ones as well as health changes. Because of this, maintaining your physical and emotional health is crucial. Here are some ways to help you enjoy the most out of life while keeping your mind and body in check.
1. Exercise
You don’t need to do intense cardio, run or even bike to stay active and make it worth your time. Go for a 10-minute walk around the block with a friend.
2. Play games
Stay mentally active by playing board and card games with friends and family members. Kick off your day with a cup of coffee and a one-on-one crossword or sudoku puzzle.
3. Volunteer
Get involved by helping others
4. Read
Whether it’s the daily paper, your favorite magazine or a new mystery novel, keep up with culture and current events by diving into some good reads.
5. Learn something new
Join a water aerobics class or a bowling league, or try your hand at gardening. Want a bit more of a challenge? Reconnect with past friends and colleagues through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter
