About this Course

ActivAge is a free group physical activity program for older adults who want to become more active. It introduces participants to physical activity and reinforces their commitment to incorporate it into their daily lives. This fun and social program will help get you moving in a relaxed environment with likeminded people! The program focuses on improving activities associated with daily living, strengthening muscles used day-to-day (ie: bending, lifting, stretching, etc); Each class incorporates physical activities that are engaging, and features in-class discussions and resources to improve your overall health and physical well-being. “I left feeling increasingly able to function independently, control stressful episodes, and I sleep better too. I enjoyed the comradery with others while doing the exercises!"- ActivAge™ Participant ActivAge is provided free of charge thanks to the support of the BC Recreation and Parks Association and the Active Aging Research Team at the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility.
