Laterlife Challenge and
have the Time of Your Life in Retirement!

 

Active in Later Life

How would you rate your health, fitness and appearance? Do you regularly run, ski, play football, tennis, badminton, go swimming, go to the gym?…….If not, our Challenge asks you to do something about it. We don’t suggest you start playing squash if you haven’t played for years! But a number of Fitness Clubs offer a complimentary visit so you can get assessed and start a fitness programme!

Looking after our bodies is something we often neglect, but there is plenty we can do in later life to make sure we stay fit and healthy. That’s more important than ever in order to help us enjoy our later life. We’ve already covered fitness which is of course part of staying healthy, but have you planned what you eat in later life or thought about your appearance recently?

Part of the Challenge is to understand a bit more about nutrition, diet and anti-ageing and if you need to, make some changes! There is loads of information out there on the web and lots of books, And of course our own health information on the laterlife.com website. You need just a small amount of time to investigate. The challenge is to understand, decide what to do and make it happen.

The Laterlife Challenge can also include a bit of fun on the looks front. How about doing something about your appearance – how are you going to avoid being a traditional stereotype oldie? You could try banishing that grey hair for a while – and not just the ladies. There are products for men too! Do you remember what you looked like before you had grey hair? Or how about an update to the wardrobe or a visit to a health farm for a bit of pampering? There are of course lots more adventurous things you might do! It’s up to you - but have fun and break a few stereotypes!

Your ideas

These are just a few thoughts; we want to hear about how you (or someone you know) are being active in later life, whatever that may be. 

Or if you are just getting going we want to encourage encourage you to use your imagination. 

What next?

The Challenge is all about sharing our ideas, so we would like you to tell us about people you know (including yourself) and examples of what they or you are doing in retirement which may help to inspire others.

Also read the general notes about who can take the Challenge

You and they can win some great prizes.
