Getting Fit For Life
“I don’t have time.” “I’m too old-I might hurt myself.” “I’d be too embarrassed at a gym with all those fit young
people around.” Sound familiar? Maybe one of these is the reason you aren’t physically active or exercising. But,
in fact, scientists now know that it’s usually more dangerous to not exercise, no matter how old you are. And you
don’t need to buy fancy clothes or belong to a gym to become more active. Most older people don’t get enough
physical activity. Lack of physical activity and not eating the right foods, taken together, are the second greatest
underlying cause of death in the United States. (Smoking is the #1 cause.)
Exercise can help older people feel better and enjoy life more. No one is too old or too out of shape to be more
active. Regular exercise can prevent or delay some diseases like cancer, heart disease, or diabetes. It can also perk
up your mood and help depression, too. Being active can help older people to stay independent and able to keep
doing things like getting around or dressing themselves. Join us for the 26th Gulf Coast Senior Games. We offer
nine days of competition that helps promote an active and healthy lifestyle. We are here to answer any questions
you may have, help you register and make sure you have an experience worth remembering. Most importantly, we
want to help you Get Fit For Life!
