GET BACK IN THE FITNESS GROOVE

Physical activity is important for staying fit and healthy as we get older, but as work, family and life in general take over, many of us fall out of the exercise habit. Fortunately, it’s never too late to get moving. Dr Gordon Spence, psychologist, exercise scientist and author of Get Moving Keep Moving, shares his top tips.

CHOOSE SOMETHING YOU’LL ENJOY

What better way of motivating a physical pursuit than choosing something that interests or excites you?

Try brainstorming this with others and look around. Our communities are jam-packed with interesting physical activity options. You might discover dragon boating, or fencing, or something else you’d never ever considered before. Then you just need to be brave and give something a go.

It’s a truism to say that in helping others, we often help ourselves. As an educator, I’m constantly delighted by how much I learn from my students – it’s never a one-way street. So, if you know someone who’s looking to become more active, and you feel you could help, reach out!
