It’s never too late to see the real-life benefits of exercise! No matter your age, being active can help you manage chronic conditions, as well as keep doing the activities of daily life most important to you, like carrying groceries, gardening, driving, or keeping up with the grandchildren. That’s what this year’s Go4Life Month is all about. The theme is #Fit4Function and focuses on the practical benefits of exercise and physical activity. Go4Life Month is part of Go4Life®, an evidence-based exercise and physical activity campaign from the National Institute on Aging at NIH dedicated to helping older adults become and stay active.

Join this September in celebrating Go4Life Month! Read and share free tip sheets about how exercise and physical activity can help you as you age. Host an event to encourage others to get active. Spread the word about #Fit4Function on social media. There are so many ways you can take part. Go4Life has activity ideas and planning guides that can help.
