Invest in exercise to improve your prospects of an independent later life.
For the best return on that investment, the sooner you start the better!
Hear Dawn Skeltons recent Word on Health interview.
Beat the frailty threshold by challenging your body and mind with two hours of exercise a week, every week, that makes you – slightly – out of breath (stamina), muscles warmer and a little shaky (strength) and slightly wobbly (safely!) to improve your balance.
Combat that natural loss of muscle strength we all experience as we age – accelerated alarmingly quickly by even a short stay in hospital due to a health issue such as a fall.
Hear and read the full interview here to be played across radio stations over the next 10 days. Many thanks to Paul at ‘Word on Health’ for spreading the positive message that if we challenge ourselves we will reap the rewards of regular exercise.
