Active Ageing

Active Ageing


The UK Chief Medical Officers' Physical Activity Guidelines recommend adults should aim to be active every day and undertake activities to improve strength on at least two days each week. This particularly applies to older adults, as there is a natural decline in strength from the age of 40-50 and for those over 65 years muscle and bone strengthening exercises are essential.

This page contains ideas, support and resources for older adults who would like to be more physically active.
