Top 10 Tips for Silvers
Disguise exercise within something more appealing – something that is interesting, enjoyable and engaging.
Choose activities where you can explore and learn something new,
creating many levels, layers of achievement and interests.
Learn the physiology of exercise or achieve peace through the mind/body/spirit connections.
Just start and see where it takes you. Once you are started, you are more likely to continue.
Teach fitness. You like variety and a high-energy approach will appeal to others and keep you moving.
Coordinate and be accountable to others to offset the “Do I feel like it?” tendency.
Monitor progress at longer intervals.
Choose activities that can be easily accessed.
Keep transitions minimal. Go dressed, ready to work out.
Build in “alone” time to reflect and plan.
