AGEING WELL FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR FAMILY

Why do you exercise? Is it for that strength goal you have been aiming for? Pre-season for sport? Exercise with friends? For your own health and longevity? Or is it for your family?

A study by Kelly et al., 2014, highlights the evidence of how exercise has proven benefit to improve cognitive function during the ageing process in adults, emphasising the importance of combining different types of exercise such as strength and cardio. Furthermore, studies have shown that regular exercise can add years to your life. Evidence from JAMA Internal Medicine found that 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week can increase life expectancy by 3.4 years for men and 3.9 years for women.

The Importance of exercise as we age?
The World Health Organisation (WHO) states that lack of physical activity is one of the leading risk factors for global deaths, contributing to diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Regular physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease by up to 30% and stroke by up to 27%.

Exercise also helps prevent further chronic diseases like diabetes, respiratory disease, and arthritis, which can interfere with your ability to care for your family as you get older. In simple terms, exercise helps you stay strong, active, and independent.

Exercising for your family is about more than personal health—it’s about creating a positive impact and fostering a healthier, happier environment. By prioritising exercise, you set a powerful example, inspiring healthy habits and breaking cycles of poor health influence longevity. Regular activity improves your physical and mental well-being, enabling you to engage actively with loved ones, reduce stress, and build resilience. Exercising together strengthens family bonds and creates lasting memories, while also protecting your family’s future by reducing preventable health risks and the potential for financial or caregiving burdens. Ultimately, you create a legacy of wellness, teaching your family the value of investing in long-term health and happiness.
