Why is staying active as you age important?

According to the Ministry of Health NZ, adults aged 65 and over are encouraged to be physically active every day, aiming for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity most days of the week.

Regular movement supports strength, balance and flexibility, which are key to maintaining independence, confidence and quality of life as you age.

How can regular exercise support you?

• Helps maintain muscle mass for easier everyday movement

• Improves balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls

• Supports heart health and circulation

• Helps maintain bone density and joint health

• Supports mental wellbeing, mood and cognitive function

• Increases energy and stamina to stay active for longer

• Makes it easier to keep up with family life and grandkids
