We love this idea from Health and Wellbeing Queensland! 🌈

As we age, moving our bodies in ways we enjoy can help us keep doing the things that matter to us.

For older adults, regular physical activity is associated with:
💙 Better balance
💙 A lower risk of falls
💙 Stronger muscles and improved mobility
💙 Better mood and confidence
💙 Better overall health and wellbeing

Choosing activities you enjoy makes it easier to stay active and build movement into your week.

If you have an older parent, grandparent, neighbour or friend, why not invite them to join you for a walk, a dance class or another activity you can enjoy together?

Moving together is a great way to stay connected while looking after your health.

You might already be moving more than you think! ☀️

Movement isn't just exercise. It's walking while taking a phone call, stretching between tasks, taking the scenic route, or spending time outdoors. Small moments of movement can add up throughout the day.

Looking at this list, which activity do you do most often? 👇

You don't have to make big changes to move more. You might already be doing more than you realise.

Movement isn't just about high-intensity exercise. It's walking while you take a phone call, stretching between tasks, taking the scenic route or spending time outdoors. These everyday moments all contribute to your health and wellbeing.

The more you notice the movement you're already doing, the easier it can be to build on it. One extra walk, one more stretch or a few minutes outside can all make a difference.

Take a look at the list above. Which one could you add to your day? 🚶☀️

Every little bit of movement counts.
