Staying Mobile After 50 – Your Key to Ageing Well!

Emergency Cards Limited

Feeling good as you age is all about staying active, strong, and independent. Movement is medicine – and the good news is, it's never too late to start.

Here are 10 top tips to keep you moving and thriving after 50:

🚶‍♀️ Move more, sit less – Even light activity like walking or gardening adds up. Every bit counts!

🏋️‍♂️ Build strength – Include resistance exercises (like lifting groceries or using resistance bands) at least 2x a week.

🧘‍♂️ Improve balance – Try yoga, tai chi, or standing on one leg while brushing your teeth.

🕺 Do what you enjoy – Dancing, swimming, walking the dog – anything that keeps you moving.

📆 Make it routine – Schedule activity into your day, just like brushing your teeth.

👟 Wear good shoes – Supportive footwear helps prevent slips, trips, and injuries.

🫀 Know your limits – Start small and build up gradually, especially if it’s been a while.

🤝 Stay social – Join a walking group, fitness class, or invite a friend to move with you.

🧠 Keep your brain active too – Moving your body also boosts brain health and mood!

✅ Get checked – Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise plan, especially if you have health conditions.

✨ Your body is made to move – keep it working for you!

📣 Share with a friend and be active together💪
