Physical Activity

For many adults, the idea of growing older brings to mind a loss of strength, energy and fitness. But it does not need to be this way. The frail health and loss of function we often associate with aging, such as difficulty walking long distances, climbing stairs, or carrying groceries, is due largely to a lack of physical activity.  If you want to maintain (or improve) your physical and mental health and quality of life as you get older, become more physically active.  It is one of the most important things you can do.
