Staying active through sports provides major health benefits to people ages 50+. Research from the Sustained Athlete Fitness Exam (SAFE) has found Senior Games athletes show fitness levels of people 10-20 years younger than their age!

Power Walk competitor Reggie Howze agrees. He reminds all of us that “Age ain’t nothing but a number!”
