As the frost recedes, the vibrant colours of spring are painting our parks and gardens, marking the end of a long, cold stretch.

The impending arrival of sunshine presents a perfect opportunity to prioritise your health and wellbeing. Stepping outdoors for a brisk walk and breathing deeply can significantly enhance both your mental clarity and physical vitality. Any form of movement contributes to your wellbeing, with even light activity providing substantial benefits. Incorporating a range of exercises can help improve your balance.

If you’re returning to exercising after a lengthy break, or if you have any health concerns, consulting your doctor is recommended to ensure your activities align with your current fitness level. Discover helpful tips and advice on the benefits of maintaining physical activity as you age on the Centre for Ageing Better website.
