40 Activities You Need To Keep Doing Once You Turn 75
Turning 75 is a milestone that should be celebrated—you're 10 years post-retirement, you've likely paid off all your debts, and you are hopefully enjoying your golden years with friends and family. But just because you've turned 75 doesn't mean you can kick back and relax too much. You need to keep your brain and body engaged. Here are 40 activities you need to keep doing once you turn 75.
Keep Walking
It's important to keep your body moving for as long as you can. A daily walk of about 30 minutes is critical to keeping your joints, muscles, and bones in good health.
Join A Local Aerobics Class
Aerobics is a fantastic, low-impact exercise that's perfect for those over the age of 75. From stretching out your leg muscles to working on your core, you can use aerobics to keep your body in shape. Check to see if there's local aerobics classes near you—they may even be free for those over 65!
Swim At Your Local Pool Or Lake
Like aerobics, swimming is a fantastic low-impact exercise that keeps your muscles working. Because you're in water, your body is able to move more freely without the impact on your joints.
Whether you choose to swim at your local lake or swimming pool, getting a swim in at least once a week is an excellent full-body workout.
Go Shopping!
You're 75. It's important to treat yourself every once in a while—take this opportunity to get yourself something nice. Go shopping with friends and make a day of it.
Not only is spending time with your friends important, getting yourself something nice is always a good feeling.
