(NC)—Since June is recognized as both Seniors Month and Recreation Month, seniors are being encouraged to participate in all kinds of events and activities that are planned throughout the province. Excellent resources in your community can be found at HealthyOntario.com.
Whether you're interested in dancing, swimming or walking, you may be surprised to find out what's available just around the corner.
Many seniors enjoy walking, or sailing or traveling together. Companions make for great company and help keep you motivated. Memberships are also available at local community centres and provide a great chance to stay strong and flexible. You can also lift weights and sign up for yoga and Tai Chi classes.
Seniors with mobility problems can also get active. Many community organizations adapt exercise programs to help. Seniors with disabilities can also use special devices to stay active at home such as grab bars and skid-proof mats to provide stability and prevent falls.
Best of all, getting active is a great way to meet other people to socialize, have fun and stay fit.
