Getting your daily physical activity in the summer doesn’t have to be a chore. Instead, use your chores to get your exercise.
Activities like gardening, yardwork, and cleaning the house can be turned into a workout, which benefits your health. Just remember to be safe — save the outdoor activities for early mornings or evenings during the summer, and don’t forget your sunscreen!
Staying active allows you the ability to keep up with daily activities and live the life you want. No longer is retirement about sitting in your recliner all day. Instead, it’s about enjoying life to the fullest.
Try Something New
Embracing a new hobby can help enhance your mental wellness. It can promote happiness, reduce stress, and improve overall emotional well-being. Whether you want to try a new workout, explore your creative side, build a new skill, or learn a new language, devote some time to trying something new.
Whether you’re doing your daily chores or seeking out something new, do something fun this summer. SilverSneakers can help you. If you haven’t signed up already, get started at SilverSneakers.com/StartHere. As a reminder, SilverSneakers includes all this for you at no extra cost.
