Fit as a Fiddle
“I took yoga again - I hadn’t done it for 30 years. It made me feel good”
In East London we are running a project called Fit as a Fiddle, a partnership project across Age UKs in Newham, Tower Hamlets and Hackney.
We know that there are many health and lifestyle benefits of physical activity for older people. People with an active lifestyle feel healthier and have an improved sense of wellbeing. Besides feeling better, physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure.
Activity Buddies
It isn’t always easy to start a new physical activity on your own, and it isn’t always easy to choose healthy eating options. The Project will link people together with an Activity Buddy in order to help them get started.
As an Activity Buddy you would be matched with someone of a similar age who wants to get involved in local activities but doesn’t want to go by themselves.
