Being active
Our bodies were made to move
It's a myth that getting older means an end to being active. We can help you to keep moving, whatever your age.
We're always told being active is the secret ingredient to health and happiness, and it can help us reduce the risk of everything from cancer to heart disease. But for some, just walking up the stairs is hard. However you're feeling right now, and whatever you're dealing with, we can help you get moving more so you'll feel better for longer.
Head to Age UK to find out more about being active and to find the right kind of excercise for you.
