This week is Active Aging Week, an annual event initiated by the International Council on Active Aging. It is a great time to try new
activities that will help you stay energetic and healthy as you age.
By the way, aging isn’t just for older people. Aging is something we’re all doing every minute, whether we’re 5 or 85 years old. Have you thought about physical activities that you’d enjoy but haven’t yet started? Why not have some fun and do something today? It can be as easy as grabbing a neighbor and going for a walk or taking those dance lessons you’ve been considering.

This year’s theme for Active Aging Week is Expand Your
Experience. It encourages you to try something new. “Active Aging Week is a great time to connect with other people
and activities,” advises Colin Milner, CEO of International Council on Active
Aging. “The week’s focus is on what older adults CAN do, not on what they
cannot or ‘should not’ do. By expanding their experiences, participants find
the activities that have meaning for them, and maintain their health so they can
pursue their avocations.”
What new physical activities will you begin this fall to reduce
your stress, keep you vital, and help you stay healthy? For more ideas check out the Be Active Your
Way Tip Sheet.
Yours in joy and health!
