TIPS
• The most important things to think about as you age are mobility and stretching ; yoga is great for that .
• You need to get your heart rate up too so do some cardio sessions a couple of times a week .
• The best way to get some weights sessions in is to get some friends together and chip in for a personal trainer or set a team goal like you ’ re going to finish a race .
• Do a hike together .
