It's never too late...

You're never too old to increase your level of physical activity
Most people say they gain strength, endurance, and flexibility by becoming more active - including those in their nineties. Almost immediately, many people notice they feel better and getting around is easier.

Consider this:

• The more you move, the better you feel.
• More active older adults have the function and fitness of those much younger.
• More active people prolong their independence.
• Everyone can benefit from increased physical activity
• People with physical limitations and chronic conditions can also benefit by becoming more active.

Increasing your level of physical activity as much as you are able can help offset many of the negative effects of certain diseases and disabling conditions.
