Today is your day Boomer! We are a "fit" generation aren't we? Recent research seems to indicate this. Boomers in the nation of Australia average one hour of fitness training per day! That is awesome and those Boomers down under are way ahead of other generations! So, here comes some fitness tips for us from an Aussie personal trainer: "1. Uncover what motivates you: think about what you love doing. Is it being outdoors? Consider activities like forest walking or outdoor bootcamps. Are you a social butterfly? Make your usual coffee at the local cafĂ© a takeaway and go for a walk with a friend. 2. Find activities that you love: once you know what motivates you, whether it is walking in nature, connecting with others, health or even feeding that healthy competitive streak, it’s time to take the plunge and find the right activity for you. 3. Buddy up: you are less likely to bail if someone is waiting for you, so grab a friend, family member or even a work pal and get moving together. There are also plenty of places to find new potential fitness buddies, like your local gym, sports club or community centre. 4. Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine: look at ways to mix activity into your existing routine. 43% of Baby Boomers regularly garden for fitness, so make the most of it and use a watering can as a weight to increase your muscle strength or start digging that new flower bed. Taking the stairs rather than the elevator, bike riding to work, or taking the dog for a longer walk are also easy ways to boost your physical activity." Sounds like words of wisdom Canadian Boomers. Cheers!
